destroyed the far west end of the Oceanside Pier, the city is getting ready to reopen 80% of the structure to the public.The pier will reopen Friday at 7:00 a.m. Regular hours of 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. will begin Saturday.
The structure is a big draw for tourists as well as locals. People run on the pier, they fish, and they take in the view. According to fire investigators, the cause is believed to be accidental. They suspect the fire may have started underneath the pier. City officials have been talking with officials in Seal Beach, where a similar fire happened at the end of that pier back in 2016, also in a vacant Ruby's Diner. The cause of that fire was electrical. Rebuilding the structure took three years.
