A fire swept through the 17th century Old Stock Exchange, one of Copenhagen’s oldest buildings, causing its iconic spire to collapse.
A fire raged through one of Copenhagen’s oldest buildings Tuesday, causing the collapse of the iconic spire of the 17th century Old Stock Exchange as passersby rushed to help emergency responders save priceless paintings and other valuables. The blaze broke out on the building's copper roof during renovations, and police said it was too early to say what caused it.
'After five minutes, smoke began to rise from the floor to the ceiling.” Tommy Laursen of the Copenhagen police said it was too early to say what caused the fire and that police would able to enter the building in “a few days.” Firefighters who reportedly pumped water from the nearby canal were seen spraying water through the doorway of the Old Stock Exchange’s gilded hall that is used for gala dinners, conferences and other events and where many paintings hung.
