Eight fire trucks have rushed to put out a blaze on one of Auckland’s best known city streets this morning. 

Emergency teams were called to the fire in a building on Karangahape Rd about 8.50am. 

“It was a commercial building that had a fire on the first floor and the fire is now out,” a Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said. 

“We’ve just got fans in there to get the smoke out.” 

Emergency teams have closed off K Rd, between Pitt and Upper Queen Sts, while the response is ongoing, police said. 

The Fenz spokeswoman said she did not yet have a report of how much damage has been done to the building. 

There are no reports of injuries, however.
