- Firefighters are working to put out a blaze on the historic Oceanside, California pier, which is about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego in Southern California. Early reports are that a vacant restaurant (which used to be a Ruby's diner) caught fire which has spread to the rest of the pier. Fire departments both via the beach and on the surf with fireboats are attempting to control the flames, as intense thick smoke billows toward the coastline towns.

Highly suspicious 😟
yup!!! - I am having difficulty processing what I am looking at.... I bet they recently upgraded their insurance package.... - why is this piece of our childhood memories on fire?
Nothing to do with that, this vacant place was used for child trafficking, store and distribution to different islands.
@@MarioR23 omfg! ...Seriously? ...now Another pier has gone up in flames..
Insurance claim… they were due for a new pier.. it was on the news months ago. Way too much of a coincidence
When the reporter said Vacant restaurant that tells you all you need to know ! Either the homeless started it or maybe an insurance claim !
Maybe kids playing with matches or lighters. Maybe old wiring. Sunlight lensed onto wood or any chemical materials/containers that may have been left behind can be like bombs. I don't know the weather but lighting is an ignition source. Maybe old split metal clashing together creating sparks that fly onto a dust pile or paint chips.
So many causes but let us all think of homeless people whenever we see an abandoned structure and blame them. If every abandoned structure was filled with the homeless don't you think it would show a bit of humanity to show concern for their well-being and question why, if it were true, there should be so many living that way?
Tells you all that YOU need to know about it. Jump to conclusions much?
Exactly 🤨
This also happened in 1976 so it’s possible that it’s another insurance claim for federal money
@@strangeworldmasterjack143 I also mentioned the prejudice this comment makes concerning the homeless but my comment has strangely gone missing.
The author is basically comparing the destitute to corrupt business owners. That's autocratic fascism for ya. Especially as corrupt business owners get away with tonnes of crap in the US costing the public billions every year in lost revenue via tax cheats and faux insurance claims. One such battle is happening in NY right now. But apparently, homeless people are top of the list for causing damage. If that is how people think then they will never be help.
Why are they not using Cal Fire Helicopters to dump water
Good ?
One helicopter showed up about 50 mins after it began. They were not prepared for such a situation which is concerning and just too late😢 🤦🏻♀️
Become they want it to burn down
Those helicopters can't dump water over the ocean. It's illegal.
Unauthorized Inhabitants ????
🤦🏻♀️😂
My first thought too 🤔
Homeless are the fall guy for the crimes of the elite.
Majority of people stop thinking and stop asking questions immediately when homeless or unauthorized inhabitants is dropped.
that racisms crazy
@@wickedweiner4875 you must not live in California 🤣😂
OCEANSIDE IS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THANK YOU
Says it all.
Half way to San Diego is Irvine . Oceanside is 25 minutes from San Diego. Bums were squatting in the abandoned "Ruby"s" restaurant. . of course. ...They were cooking noodles .
Hahahaha. Bums huh? Imagine that. This is what happens when nobody has anywhere to live because they've been priced out by an invasion of yuppy freaks. If you don't like your cities burning, you have to take care of them, including housing every last mental patient wandering the street.
My childhood😭 wow im from oside and this hurts so much. The pier is a big source of pride for us. Wow.
Was
Insurance claim?
When will the homeless understand not to burn down the place they are living in. 🤦🏼♀️
Maybe they got paid to light the match
U crack me up I’m from Diego
Stop blaming the homeless.
It’s not vacant.. I did an install of chemical dispensers last summer along with the Brine Box kiosk restaurant next to it .. the kitchen was being used in the old Ruby’s just not open for patrons
Bro.. I work Lloyd Pest Control and brine box account I do it. Or at least I did… I have a new route I work now but I did brine box a few times. Crazy
But it's crazy because it doesn't look like the restaurant is even on fire. Just the pier.
@@carolemmett9385That’s an artifact of the pier being wooden, elevated, and having plenty of oxygen below. Most building fires don’t spread underneath like that because they essentially starve themselves of oxygen… but not on a wood pier.
@@carolemmett9385later on you could see the flames bursting out of the building from a destroyed roof panel, so it was definitely on fire throughout the inside of the building
It is so vacant!!
So sad
There was flames on upper floor by the bigger fire boat
This one was no accident.
Under pier set on fire. i live here. ruby's out of business over one year. check who owns this property. insurance job.
Live in Oceanside, can hear a bajillion helicopters overhead.
Anyone else think insurance fraud? I bet a nice restaurant is gonna open up there in a couple years
Yup all part of the Oceanside gentrification project. Building has been unoccupied for years for a reason.
And they will blame homeless so no questions are asked.
Jewish lighting a real possibility 🎉
@@OutWestRedDirtWell, I first became aware when my homeless niece and her boyfriend started uploading their own videos of it to CZcams. They always hang out by the Oceanside beach pier.
@@kevinrice7635 WTF?!!! GET SOME HELP.
Arson
Curious if any damage to the pier itself can be prevented at all. We shall have to wait and see.
Is such a wonderful place. I hope everyone is safe.
Looks like insurance claims???
Or the homeless or illegals were squatting
Same thing happened to another Ruby’s at the Huntington beach pier a few years back.
@@alopezjrInteresting....hmmm 🤔
Same thing happen to the one in Seal Beach CA
@@amd7574stfu get off the internet seek help
Squatters bbq gone wild
Get San Diego harbor police boats down there they got excellent fire protection
Nope, they cant, still busy writing lifejacket citations
a perfect symbol of California
The level of incredibly stupid and opinionated people commenting on this video is astounding.
Another ruby's. Another pier. Rather suspicious.
man, those fire boats aren't helping at all...
Used to live in Oceanside. I love that pier! Hope everyone is safe and no one was hurt on the pier. 🙏❤️ # Oceanside
LA CIty Fire has several huge fireboats 2:13
been defunded and shut down ,get what you voted for
Far from la
@@toddredinger9493
Are you smoking crack??🤣🤡
Blame the Democrats
It's funny how politicians always need to let everyone know they are "closely following" the crisis. How about just stay out of the way and let the professionals handle it.
It was Hamas, students are protesting the seafood now, its Kosher.
They have an active restaurant there using their old kitchen called brine box
Insurance?!
Why isn't there a overhead air drop? You got water everywhere, and not one water bucket dump overhead?
Vacant??? Vacant restraunt? Catches fire??
Same thing happen to the Ruby's dinner down at Seal Beach Pier. Insurance fraud ?
How the hell is the pier fire so seemingly uniform.
its called a sea breeze and it usually happens in the day time next to the ocean because the sun is heating up the ground causing the air to heat up and rise and the colder more dense air from the ocean coming in to replace the rising air. that is why most airplane taking off from an airport next to the ocean will usually take off and land toward the ocean.
@@KevinS819 thank you!
WHO THE HELL STARTED THIS ? ? ?
Theres been hundreds of these fires across our country in the last 7 years. Refineries, food processing plants large warehouse distribution forest fires. These are not coincidences.
Hundred bucks says it’s insurance fraud
The smoke is going back towards the beach due to afternoon on shore breezes Mr. Newsguy...duh...happens every day.
I used to walk here every weekend. The end of the pier was extremely windy, and cold. So it would usually blow back in this direction, towards the shore.
Can you say Zinsurance claim? Look for owner
city just spent $5million upgrading the electric and sewer on the pier
I didn't know the restaurant was closed. They have a big fence that goes across the whole pier at the end, there when they're closed. I imagined if they were permanently closed the gate would have been closed.
was there last week and thinking about it you’re right, the building was just open and you could enter unimpeded… thought it was strange but now its even stranger 😭
My grandma lives around there
are they just gonna let it burn down kinda like police chases over there
An hour from Los Angeles to Oceanside - maybe 2 Hours by fireboats -they Arent that fast but high powered. 5:34 5:45
A forestry helicopter would be faster, and could just dunk and drop on spot.
I am 86 yo. Have many memories fishing off the pier along with trips to the barge off shore .
Really doesn't matter if it is empty. It's going to be expensive to repair that pier.I remember eating there a long time ago
Wind blowing in right onto the Pier Very sad
That's my best fishing spot😢😢😢😢
Fiery but mostly peaceful...
It's not a ruby's diner anymore :-( sad.... haven't been there in decades.
My old fishing haunt!
What, did they have an American flag up that they needed to dispose of?
Nah, just time to leave Cali thanking the Gov on the way out.
Is that the pier from Falling Down?! 😳
No
The restaurant has been closed since Covid. Maybe old shorted cables, people smoking, insurance fraud, etc 🤷🏻♀️ it could be a plethora of things. I walked the pier this morning. Doesn’t seem they were prepared for such a situation. We had a fire in Carlsbad cove and the fire was put out quickly with little damage. Sad all around regardless 😢 Who cares what “representatives” say. How about ppl who actually live here?! 😢
FYI: Brine Box was a tiny little hut next to the old ruby’s diner restaurant. Look it up.
Onshore breeze.
Is this from a downed pole?? Or a rogue cargo ship??
Air drops ????
smoke beyond the front of building....along front of pier?
another mysterious fire?
Right? People need to pay attention, these fires were not a regular occurrence before.
Suspicious 🤨 hmmm 🧐
I was born on camp Pendleton back in 56 and grew up in Oceanside in the early 60s and 70s.
I went to Ditmar elementary school in the 60s
my friends and I used to hang around the pier and go halfway down it where there was a smoked fish shack that would always give us samples
This reporter is out to lunch. so wacky & not informed. Terrible reporting.
Usually there are people fishing from the pier
When did Gavin Newsom start taking violin lessons?
So who set that on fire????? And what is it distracting from?????
Insurance fraud??????????Arson????????
Tiny water canons to put out the fire? Fire Boats appear underpowered for this blaze.
More steam than smoke, I would think. It's white, and there is a lot of water on the structure by now.
They will never rebuild it
The smoke is bellowing perfectly.
Wow, I used to eat at Ruby’s.
Can’t start a fire without a spark
That is so sad. Sending prayers!🙏
I'm so glad the law makers called in, I can sleep tonight.
Wow, that's terrible. Ruby's restaurant was terrible too but we didn't want to see the Pier burn down
When is the state going to be held accountable for policies that encourage homeless encampments? How about using part of our $113 billion in tax revenue for free homeless housing and drug rehab?
Its going to collapse
well at least they won’t run out of water 😊
Smoke has nothing to do with the size of the 'fire'.
The underneath part of the pier is what started burning. Crazy
Oh no, a childhood memory now gone.
Mite as well forget about that building those boats won't put that fire out what a joke
some days are diamonds and some days are stones.
This is what happens when you're state becomes filled with shuttered buildings.
They closed at the beginning of Covid and never reopened
Breaks my heart
The migrants that were living there are going to be pissed!
This place was burned down due, sorry I can't say it but this vacant restaurant was used as a house to store and move something alive.
All that water around should have been essentially an easy job. But with only 2 scrawny boats, This is pathetic! 😢
They gonna build "low income" housing on the pier. Packed like sardines
I'm glad I filmed this a couple times to preserve history
Where's the helicopters to dip and drop? It would be out in minutes.
oh so sad.. I was proposed to there .
Does it matter anymore than What’s left of California???
I spent a lot of my childhood playing and fishing on that pier.
White smoke. No fire. Lol. The owner is collecting insurance.
A then-operating Ruby’s at Seal Beach Pier burnt down years ago too; and now this closed one burns.
why do people assume it was an inside insurance fraud job? like when does that ever happen?
They better hurry, whole damn Pier made out of Wood
