Oceanside Pier fire under control, but still smoldering

Tourists and locals captured images of the iconic Oceanside Pier Friday, one day after a devastating blaze erupted at the end of the structure.
"We were in the middle of actually re-doing the concrete part," said Mayor Esther Sanchez. "That's like a $40 million dollar project. To have this happen, we're all brokenhearted."
She said she's already gotten calls from state and federal leaders, offering their support. She said they're in the process of making an emergency declaration, which would allow them to apply for FEMA assistance.
Friday firefighters remained at the scene, watering down hot spots. The fire appears to have started in the old Ruby's Diner. So far, investigators have not determined what sparked the fire. The ATF is assisting in the investigation.

The "pier" was encroaching on waters that no longer belong to the "good 'ole U.S.A." Maybe you should get a survey team to redefine the border area before you assume it's OK to build there. Property lines can be a frustrating challenge!
