Like Rome? I suppose some would have liked to keep the ruins for historical purposes, but if you consider, Dale was burned, not blown up like in the movies (Try knocking over a Lego tower with a flame thrower- you can melt it, but it will not just crumble and fall), so it is possible that, after cleaning out the cobwebs, the men of Dale had the same Dale, but slightly darker for the scorching.

Then again, I have never seen dragon fire and ruin, so I am no expert.
