More than a dozen fire and ladder trucks are responding to a building fire in West Auckland.

A Fire and Emergency spokesperson says they were alerted to the blaze on Avenger Place in Glendene just before 7pm.

Ten firetrucks, three ladder trucks, and numerous specialist and support vehicles are on the scene.

The second storey of a two-storey commercial building was totally ablaze upon arrival, the spokesperson said.

The fire was contained to the upper level and they were working to fully extinguish it.

No one has been evacuated or injured.
