Massive fire at Oceanside Pier 

That capt of that flat bottom fire boat has got some skill keeping it steady like that, thats not easy task to stay in that one spot with a sideways current.

I grew up in Oceanside in the 60s and this is sad to see. I spent countless mornings days and nights on that pier just gazing out at the ocean and thinking. On the post 80’s pier, I know exactly which part of that building I was sitting in when I would have my coffee and apple pie. 😢

Kind of wild the smoke is blowing perfectly down the pier..

The irony of something burning on water.. hope all are okay.

The whole pier looks toasted. I wonder what happened to start the fire?😮

Why don't these piers have a hydrant loop?

This could very well be a sign of bad days ahead, businesses are getting squeezed so hard, now the consumers can’t afford to show up. If things don’t turn around by next year, expect a fire to all things you relied upon in the past. Save your money, pay off credit cards, invest, don’t get caught high & dry, it’s like a 2008 rerun.

The restaurant is on fire 😢

I would not be surprised if it were arson because of the skyrocketing insurance and property taxes.

Fires under piers are almost impossible to knock because of the creosote soaked wood. Once it gets going, it will burn all the way...

Come for our happy hour, but stay for dinner, our new chef has taken smoking fish to a whole new level of flavor and presentation

😂 his hose is too small. It isn’t long enough.🔥😂😂

Looks like it started underneath the pier.

On the day I decided not to go for a walk on the pier 😮

Thats one way to get rid of the old Rubys restaurant...Surprised they didnt use Copter 1 from SDFD for water drops!? Those fire boats arent even making it up to the building..lol

Interesting that the smoke what's coming from underneath the pier before any visible flames inside the building itself

Where are the fire boats? The boats spraying water are not fire boats.

All the gift shops and cafes and workers gone . Many years ago I walked out on the pier when I was working at USMC Pennelton for USAFR.

Where are the air supports to put it out from above? They aren't even close the flames.

This is crazy so much water around the building and not able to use it 😮

It looks like the Stone Age for the fire department, they need to update their equipment.

I can't be the only one listening to Deep Purple right now.

I don't see anyone out on the ledge did it have patrons?

Water all around and they use the weakest squirt guns 😂

Seems like a deluge fire system could use seawater to protect the structure

No sound?

What's the point of paying for insurance if you never file a claim ?

The entire state has gone to….

More smoke than fire.

Ins job, the restaurant was empty.

6.60 pm, India. My God what 😢😢😢 a sad sight.

It’s sad seeing Rubys go. It was wear I ate a few hamburger and drank some soda looking out into the ocean.

Where are the Fire Sprinklers , that are mandatory !!

How sad,,,,, How much money is spent along that ocean front line but not much on firefighting water crafts and noticed how not even the coast guards water couldn’t make it up to the burning structure !? But the housing community along the beaches have awesome street cleaning vehicles.

Where is it

being in san diego area there has to be a larger firehose ship somewhere close. Get water on top and it will put out the pier fire as well. They are use hose ships designed for boat to boat. I guess they are focusing on saving the pier and not the structure.

I used to live on The Strand Street a few hundred yards from the pier.

20$ minimum wage taking its toll, looks like the owner cashed in his fire insurance while it was still valuable.

That should have Fire Sprinklers...........apparently not.

Which one?

Arson is pretty common in California

we can't seem to keep anything nice and made of wood

Insurance job.

I was just t this fire. Sad day here in Oceanside CA. This used to be Ruby's Restuarant at the end of the pier.

No sound

Where is the TMZ boat?

😂 they gave up they said they hitting it right because their hose is too short😂😂😂

Where is the mutual aid from San Diego fire boat and possibly LAFD

Very suspect,I'm sure we'll get an actual portrayal a well edited one

Is it just me, or some of these videos are getting uploaded without any sound?

Thats a bummer. Were headed there tomorrow. Hmph

They are well equipped with garden hose 🤣🤣

@Massive fire at Oceanside Pier:I used to walk down this pier to have drinks in the building. I am so sorry to see it go.

well looks like I'm not fishing today

Another new whirling odor production

Bummer!

This reminds me of WE WERE LAIRS !!!!

Maybe a power cable running alongside went bad?

Wonder if the sunset market got evacuated cause of smoke.

It looks like the pier itself is on fire.

So far off the shore….how are they going to get water all the way there?

They didn’t even finish watching them put the fire out??? Lame. This is what happens when Stu isn’t in the chopper.

Well that sucks and yet another stark reminder that nothing is forever another piece of our years gone

The fire appears to have been under the pier.

Need more hoses on the fire!!! Where is the Coast Guard too?

smoooke on the waterrr🎵🎶

No more smoking on the pier...😮😮😮😮

Omg my grandma lives around there

Another “accident”?

Shouldn't there be more boats than whats there fighting this fire?

That USCG WPB has no monitors. It's useless. Where are the real fire boats?

Very very Sad.

Where's the fire helicopter water drops?

Lets blame this on DIDDY !

Not suspicious for sure…

🤦‍♂️ Coast Guard is pissing in the wind that’s not gonna work

Where are the real firefighting assets?? Looks like they're trying to fight this with a couple garden hoses

What in the wild world of sports is going on ?

Gta online finna update

Did anyone die there?

I was ther

Sad so many of us have walked up and down the when we were younger.

Smoke on the water

Yes

Insurance fire

OH NO!!!!!

Oh man, build back better is definitely not working.

Tony Alva lives in Oceanside .Beach side Home with an empty pool . Cool. Of course The homeless started this fire trying to stay warm.

Queen Mary burning

can you say buh bye

Insurance 😂

Only way to get money out of the old Ruby's restaurant.

Here come the Calvary!

That's all Folks! It will be shut down with no money to repair. Hope everyone enjoyed the last walk or meal on the pier. Ocean Beach is next. The winter waves thrashed it closed. Probably for good.

It's Arson!!!! It's california.....

They need fire boats and firefighters to put this fire out

Fire ass pancakes

So sad!

Arson , to fix the storm damage from , the last brutal storms that damaged piers up and down the Pacific Coast !! 🔥🤷

Likely an insurance job. Who wants to keep a business in California? The governor in all of the Mayors really suck for the business owners anyway
