Video from the Firefighters Union shows the truck leaking transmission fluid in Silo Park.
The union claims the failure represents a system with no resilience when frontline appliances fail.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand says the truck is now operational again.
It acknowledges the fleet is ageing and says its spending $20-million a year to replace older trucks.
