Most of Oceanside Pier to reopen to public Friday, city announces

The city of Oceanside plans to reopen the majority of the Oceanside Pier on Friday after an intense blaze gutted a vacant restaurant building and a snack shop, it was announced Monday.

The fire erupted for unknown reasons on April 25. The city has offered relocation assistance to the owners of the snack shack, The Brine Box, as they face recovery from the loss of the building."The damaged far west end of the will remain closed and fenced off until further notice, as debris removal and reconstruction will soon be underway," a statement from the city said."We appreciate patience and understanding as we work to ensure the pier is safe for all.

"There is no evidence of an intentional or incendiary act," a city statement reads."A comprehensive report detailing the investigation's findings is anticipated in the next few weeks." Around 7% of engraved names along the pier's rail — done as a fundraiser in 1988 as part of the city's centennial celebrations — were damaged or destroyed in the fire. The city is evaluating how to replace the names, and the undamaged ones will be documented for archival preservation."The city of Oceanside extends profound gratitude to the numerous individuals and organizations whose support proved instrumental in mitigating the fire's impact," the city statement reads.
