Firefighters continue to put out flare-ups, and the beach and Strand near the iconic structure remain closed
As firefighters continued on Saturday to put out hot spots from the Oceanside Pier fire, city engineers came back with good news: the pylons supporting the structure are stable. Firefighters again worked overnight to suppress flare-ups. On Saturday, crews were able to safely access and snuff out smoldering sections of the pier thanks to plywood delivered by the city of Oceanside’s Water Utilities Department, city officials said.
The beach surrounding the pier remained closed Saturday as the county's Department of Environmental Health ran water samples and crews continued to gather debris that washed ashore. Officials urged the public to avoid the area to limit smoke exposure. The city’s water contact closure remains in effect so the public does not engage with potential contaminants. The beach north of the pier to Surfrider Way and south of the pier to Tyson Street also remains closed to the public.
