Wellington Fire Crews Extinguish Blaze On A Firetruck
A fire broke out in Wellington's Thorndon suburb, and the fire service responded by putting out the flames. The blaze was not a building, a car, or a rubbish bin — it was one of their own firetrucks, fully alight. Crews were called to douse the burning appliance, and the image was posted to Reddit's r/newzealand, where the thread, submitted by u/vote-morepork, quickly drew amused comments about a fire crew having to rescue its own equipment from itself.
