Copenhagen's mayor hopes to learn from Notre Dame reconstruction after historic building fire

Copenhagen's mayor said Thursday she contacted her Paris counterpart to see what could be learned from the reconstruction of the Notre Dame cathedral in the French capital, after a fire devastated the Danish city's 400-year-old stock exchange building. Firefighters were still at the scene two days after a blaze destroyed half of Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange, which dates from 1615, and collapsed its iconic dragon-tail spire.

Tuesday's blaze was believed to have started on the roof during renovations, but the cause remained unclear and police had yet to enter the burned part of the building to investigate. Work continued Thursday to stabilize the building, with the Greater Copenhagen Fire Department saying they expect to be working at the scene for at least another day. “The walls are very unstable,” firefighter spokesman Tom Ole Simonsen said.
