Massive fire breaks out at the historic Oceanside Pier in California

Massive fire breaks out at the historic Oceanside Pier in California about 40 min north of San Diego city.

The fire appears to be at the location of Ruby's Restaurant, a diner which is permanently closed.

Fire fighting boats are on the scene however they are having a very difficult time putting out the fire.

The original pier was build in 1888

The city of Oceanside spent $5.5 million last year to upgrade the 1,954 foot long pier by replacing old pipes and electrical systems.
