The fire destroyed the spire, which collapsed on the roof of the Chamber of Commerce’s current headquarters. At this time the causes are unknown.
The historic building of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange, in the capital of Denmark, was immersed in one on Tuesday firework which has damaged the roof and already caused the collapse of the iconic spire, with no information on the victims at this time.
The Copenhagen Fire Department confirmed this on its account on the social network building.
“We are in the process of deployment,” the Danish emergency services indicated in statements to the newspaper Jyllands Posten, before declaring that the chief works will be those of “salvation and extinction.” Authorities closed off the entire area around the Bourse, where dozens of police officers also responded.
The historic spire of the Stock Exchange, shaped like the intertwined tails of four dragons, collapsed around 8:30 am as a result of the flames that engulfed the building in Slotsholmen, which was undergoing a restoration process.
