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.
Local fire crews were joined by Cal Fire and the San Diego Sheriff's Department to make a water drop on the structure fire, reported NBC San Diego.
Two fire-fighting vessels are working to battle the blaze that has charred the building and caused the roof to collapse.
'What we know is that the fire teams decided to do a defense tactic and not try to save the restaurant but save the rest of the pier.' Oceanside mayor Esther Sanchez told the local news station.
