What, did they have an American flag up that they needed to dispose of?

[@cosmickate3]

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

Perfect wind blowing on direction to smoke the whole pier, unreal

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.

[@Tsar-Tyco-Nova-Von-Taco-Cat]

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