Firefighters Save Most of Oceanside Pier, Continue Battling Smoldering Remnants

Significant efforts by multiple agencies have contained the fire primarily to the western end of the landmark pier, with no injuries reported.

Firefighters managed to save 90% of the historic Oceanside Pier after a fire broke out on Thursday, causing extensive damage to the structure and several businesses.
The fire, which started in a vacant restaurant at the pier's end, prompted a massive response from local fire departments, the Coast Guard, and other agencies.
No injuries have been reported, and all employees from affected businesses were accounted for safely.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, with experts from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives involved.
Officials are assessing the pier's structural integrity to determine when it can reopen to the public, with ongoing safety measures including closing nearby beach areas.
