135-Year-Old Oceanside Pier Up in Flames in San Diego, California

The Oceanside Pier has stood for 135 years in San Diego county, California. On Thursday, first responders were called to put out a fire on the local institution. The fire started just after 3 p.m. at the end of the historic pier. Helicopters dumped water from the skies while boats fought the flames from underneath. The exact cause of the fire on the nearly 2,000-foot-long pier is under investigation, though officials believe it may have started in a vacant restaurant.
