The historic old stock exchange building in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark is on fire. The 17th Century Børsen is one of the city’s oldest buildings, its iconic spire has collapsed in the flames. Everyone in the building, which dates back to 1625, was able to leave and people rushed to rescue some of the building’s historic paintings.
