City officials said Friday morning that firefighters had contained the fire to the far west end of the structure
Firefighters worked through the night to douse the blaze that ignited on the Oceanside Pier Thursday, seriously damaging the wooden structure and several buildings atop it. In an update on the city's website Friday morning, city officials said firefighters had contained the fire to the far west end of the pier. Crews removed several planks to access the blaze and to protect the rest of the landmark.
Activities at the Junior Seau Beach Recreation Center were canceled Friday, as well. The blaze, which sent clouds of dark smoke into the sky, was spotted at the empty restaurant about 3 p.m. Thursday. More than 200 firefighters, lifeguards and police officers poured in from Oceanside and nearby cities to help put out the fire. Even a construction company that was nearby to dredge the harbor sent a boat to assist.
