OCEANSIDE, Calif. – An investigation was underway Friday nearly 24 hours after an intense fire destroyed a section of the historic Oceanside Pier.
A Ruby’s Diner previously occupied the now-vacant commercial building; the restaurant closed in 2021.In addition to efforts from Oceanside Fire Department crews, a Coast Guard cutter sprayed water onto the burning building and Cal Fire and San Diego Gas & Electric water-dropping helicopters aided in an aerial attack on the blaze.
City of Oceanside officials said 90% of the pier was saved, but the vacant building and part of the Brine Box restaurant at the end of the pier was damaged.Despite the heavy smoke sent into the air at the onset of the blaze, officials said air quality in the immediate area had improved throughout Friday morning.
