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 current pier, which is 1,945 feet long and the longest on the West Coast, was built in 1987.
