Seal Beach pier fire strangely similar to Oceanside pier blaze

Back in 2016, a fire broke out at Ruby's Diner on the Seal Beach pier in Orange County. It took three years and $8 million to rebuild the pier.
CBS 8 spoke to a civil engineer who worked on that reconstruction project to find out what it is going to take to repair the Oceanside pier.
The Seal Beach pier fire occurred under strangely similar circumstances to the Oceanside pier fire. In both incidents, a shut-down Ruby’s restaurant was destroyed.
The cause of the fire at the Seal Beach pier was electrical.

Restaurants at the ends of Oceanside and Seal Beach Pier Fires are both Ruby’s, sounds like arson for insurance pay out.

It was the SAME BUSINESS? At this point both of these not being deliberate is basically an impossibility, clearly on purpose

Strange to see a structure burning when there is more than enough water to put it out 30ft underneath it. A few boats with pumps from Harbor Freight should be sufficient to put it out. Seal Beach has a military base right F'ing there. Maybe 3 miles from the pier. It's a Navel Base. They have the equipment to knock this thing down in no time.

Hold up (nod to Kevin Hart), did I read somewhere a fire suppression system was installed within recent memory at Ruby's Oside?? Good ol Esther looking fine big smile on her face WE'LL REBUILD! Great Es, 3 years and how much political wrangle due to Oside being tied in schadenfreude. RIP Ruby at the end of Oside Pier, Bait Box, your were lovely hope you can make a go somewhere your foods were lovely, just there last week.

Sweet baby Jebus. Read the headline and thought, no, actually said aloud, "Seal Beach? Again? That caught fire 6, 7, 8 years ago." If you don't know what to inspect closer, arson can easily be mistaken as a fire due to mechanical or electrical failure. It was always fun to respond to abandoned or vacant residences having no electric meter but somehow have the ignition point on, in or near the panel then discover a methamphetamine lab in the kitchen and not donning SCBA. Fun times. There's no way the two fires are unrelated. Someone, somewhere has an ax to grind with Ruby's, or someone is mighty damned desperate to clear the end of the piers. As far as a rebuild, the "hammerhead" can always be stepped down by 4-6 feet if the pilings allow and didn't burn down through their cores. That would be unless the state, county, or municipality wrote up a building ordinance only a box of rocks would draft.
