I used to eat at Ruby’s all the time. Sad to see. I fished off that pier as a kid with a rod/reel I got with 8 books of S&H green stamps. Caught a fish too. My grandmother took a picture on the O’side pier with her fish in the early 1900’s.
Fire usually doesn't spread sideways very well unless something flammable has been poured onto it or other burning substances fall on it as heat goes up unless blocked.
Could it have been grease/oil related? If was once a restaurant what if it was never cleared out of all items of previous owner and vandals got in and made a mess then lit the left over cooking oils on fire. If the structure is wood all that can seep into the wood making it a hard time to put out if using water.
If you’d use your brain and listen to what they say right after that, it’s because the fire was burning under the pier deck. Boats can’t go under there, and it’s not like firemen can walk upside down on the bottom of the pier like Spiderman.
@@appleintosh it’s a wooden structure. The working pressure of tbose firehose are about 40 bar 800 and 2,000 kPa; 116 and 290 psi. They don’t need to work upside down.. those are strong enough to penetrate through.. it’s an absurd explanation. Use your brain
@@davinxi5926Water out of a fire hose can’t go through solid wood. Have you seen the photos of where they cut planks out to create their trench? Those boards look like they’re 5” thick.
The pier isn’t made out of driftwood. The rubys building is made out of the same stuff that every other building is made out of, and they burn to the ground all the time. This is no different. It’s not a conspiracy
FOUR CITY LIFEGUARDS EXTINGUISHED THE OCEANSIDE PIER FIRE as firefighters stood helplessly on the beach!!!! Fire trucks could not drive out onto the pier, and neither could firefighters. The fire chief never mentions that it was lifeguards, not firefighters that extringuished the fire!!! SHAMEFUL!!
the firefighters were on boats and the pier. along with vista, Oceanside, carlsbad and camp pendletons fire authority. coast guard. everyone helped out.

That place was always jam packed with tourists and fishermen and surfers on each side. Hope the city of oceanside rebuilds it.

Um built on a wooden deck. Fire spread underneath. notice how they cut out a section in front of the fire to keep ti from spreading further.
@@dougdiplacido2406 10-4 Thanks
I WAS SAYINGG also look at 2:09 when the buildings are burned but the other 3 corners look untouched and the benches unburned
Investigate the Waites. They know something.
ya'll conspiracy folks in the comments are crazy, thinking about the least likely possibilities before we know anything
The conspiracy theory people do not think before they make fools of themselves.
Sad day
😢 i have a feeling this was squatters . The homeless destroy everything. It's been worse since 2022
1970s all over again
Aren't there always "under construction" reasons when these things happen.
Not always but frequently! Sloppy temporary wiring, portable oil filled heaters. Dont neglect long feeder cables with high inductive reactance,
Sounds like someone made the decision to let it burn. It was surrounded by water and they couldn’t put the fire out?
Become a firefighter and then spew that rubbish.
@@dougdiplacido2406 I don’t blame the firefighters. If that decision was made, it was done so by someone that sits behind a desk.
@@Userf451No, the decision was made by a trained and experienced firefighter. Why do you people always think you know better than the experts?
Brine box was using the kitchen the residents of Oceanside thought the building was vacant.
Insurance fraud.
Longest wooden pier on the west coast 1,954 ft.. Amazing reporters don't mention it.
1:40 20
Hours to take it out? So they waited for it to burn up more 😂 did I hear that correctly
🤔 🧐 yep you heard that right

There is years of grease in that diner, that thing is going to burn for days.
What happened to that mandated sprinkler system?
Probably off, about the only way that they fail.
Sparkler😅😜😂🤣
20 hours? Did they desalinate the water before they sprayed it!
Why on earth would they do that?
THe place LACKED FLAVOR
It’s a hard type of structure fire to extinguish. There’s not really a good way to spray water underneath the pier deck
Makes me think it was a grease/oil fire the way that was acting with the water.
Wouldn’t someone know if homeless/squatters were out there ?....That’s a long hike to not be seen coming and going
why are people claiming it was an inside insurance fraud job?
They are showing their ignorance.
Because they always need a conspiricy whatever happens
Because people are insane these days. They refuse to listen to logic and can’t be convinced that it’s not a conspiracy. Shit happens
Because most of them can see right through the BS!
@@velvetpixiecake5310 no, most of them ARE the BS
Yeah. Why demo it and gut it and rebuild it…. When you can just collect insurance money. 🤔
Why is atf there?
Because they investigate fires, it's a big part of their task.
Dang Global warming is now catching wood on fire on top of the ocean in California 😢
Very sad 😢
I think i seen Gravel Nucum out there
Definitely a fraud situation
Bingo!......Just like the Tustin Blimp hanger "suddenly" going up in flames on PRISTINE ORANGE COUNTY real estate!
Nah. The employees next door had to escape. This is the mental case homeless that run a muck lately since 2022 its got worse
I was thinking either that or squatters.
Ignorant statement.
Going on vacation there next month. 😭 😢😢😢
Where’s your governor? He don’t care 💯
How sad
Y'all ever tried to burn driftwood? There's a reason people are suspicious

ANSON!!!
Insurance scam
Of course it was contained. Where could it go other than the ocean lol

I guess you just can't fix ignorance or stupidity.
Yeah that makes sense 😂
boo
A little Jewish lightning
Rubys in theSeal beach pier burned the same way in 2016
IT WAS CAUSE BY RUBY SQUATTERS
mob insurance payday
Bacon grease. Years of illegally dumping bacon grease through a secret pipe into the water has caught up with them. Swine revenge.
Big deal. Now tell us what the Oceanside city council plans to do to free Palestine
