In the heart of Copenhagen, a historic building caught fire. A witness from Finland reported seeing the flames and heavy smoke from afar, with images on social media showing just how intense the blaze was. The tower of the building collapsed as the fire spread to every floor, leaving everyone inside in danger.
Fortunately, everyone in the building was evacuated and emergency services were working tirelessly to extinguish the fire. Soldiers also joined in with their efforts to save what they could. The building, known as the Stock Exchange Building, was owned by the Danish Chamber of Commerce and had been undergoing renovations for its 400th anniversary fall celebration.
The fire was compared to Notre Dame’s devastating blaze and shocked those in Copenhagen’s historical center. Witnesses described the flames and shared their experiences of trying to remove valuable items from the burning building. Local residents shared their personal stories about their familiarity with the building and its history while Danish officials expressed their sadness over losing this cultural heritage.
The rescue efforts are still ongoing, but there are concerns that traffic congestion in Copenhagen is hindering operations. Despite this, brave men and women continue to work together to save what can be salvaged from this historic landmark.
