00:00Danish citizens pitched in to help rescue priceless art from a burning landmark.
00:04This is Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange building during a 2021 light festival.
00:09And this is the building yesterday after it caught on fire in a blaze that drew
00:13comparisons to the burning of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral in 2019.
00:17The Old Stock Exchange contained many valuable works of art.
00:20People in the area joined together to save as much of it as they could.
00:24Even Danish Chamber of Commerce CEO Brian Mickelson lent a hand.
00:28Klaav Zlachwa arrived on the scene because he had to move his car which was parked nearby.
00:32He says he ended up salvaging a painting by 16th century artist Albrecht Dürer.
00:37That was such a touching moment to hold Danish national history in your hands and
00:44and to grasp the seriousness of this terrible, terrible fire.
00:53The cause of the fire is unknown but fortunately no injuries have been reported.
