Wonder what the city has planned for that spot? I'm sure it will be revealed soon enough. Kind of like Lahaina perhaps.

They did a water drop , but only one. Guess they can't use salt water

I'm sorry to see the pier burning but to tell you the truth Ruby's Diner was not the best restaurant. I'm sure the wood is laden with creosote so it burns fast.

[@JohnSmith-un9jm]

Disgruntled homeless did it

[@SundayCookingRemix]

How are the ppl going to get off the pier???? 😢😢😢

[@Keptuke]

running walking swimming crawling, you choose

[@peacetalkspaz]

It was at the end of the pier. People were evacuated and left quickly

[@wendygerrish4964]
