COPENHAGEN: Half of Denmark's Old Stock Exchange was completely burnt out with only outer walls remaining after flames had engulfed the building and caused the roof to collapse in Tuesday'

Danish firefighters and emergency personnel work on the structure during the final extinguishing operations one day after a fire ravaged the historic Boersen Stock Exchange and toppled its iconic spire in Copenhagen on Apr 17, 2024.

"Right now we are waiting for the fire to be put out and then we will go inside to survey the scene. It is not a safe area so we have not been inside to look yet," Copenhagen police Deputy Commissioner Rune Nielsen told Reuters. Flames and smoke rise from the Dragon Spire of the Stock Exchange on fire in Copenhagen, Denmark, Apr 16, 2024.

Emergency services were joined by passers-by on Tuesday in carrying large paintings away from the building shortly after the fire broke out in a race to save historic artefacts from the flames.
