The fire began in the copper roof of the Old Stock Exchange. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A fire raged through one of Copenhagen’s oldest buildings on Tuesday, causing the collapse of the iconic spire of the 17th-century Old Stock Exchange as passersby rushed to help emergency services save priceless paintings and other valuables.
He also took part in saving valuables from the flames, and said they had to use tools including like a crowbar to remove them. 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.
Up to 90 members of an army unit were deployed from a nearby base to cordon off the area and “secure valuables," Denmark's armed forces said.
