Firefighters are working to extinguish a blaze that broke out on the historic Oceanside Pier in San Diego.
The fire was reported around 3 p.m. PT inside the vacant building that previously housed Ruby's Diner on the pier.

The City of Oceanside spent $5.5 million in 2023 to upgrade pipes and electrical systems on the pier.
Originally built in 1888, the pier has been destroyed twice in its lifetime, once in 1890 by rough seas and again in 1902.
The current pier, which is 1,945 feet long and the longest on the West Coast, was built in 1987.
