These piers tend to go up like Roman candles due to the fact that they are primarily made of wood and since the air can be drawn up from underneath the pier they burn very quickly.
Should be able to be restored. .

That Fire started behind
Hidden panels Typical rebuilt over rotten bits, over the years. The Fire Service should have have been told about old panels from years ago so they could pass them as safe This is all so typical Private Run Pier most on that section had not got insurance as it was due to start soon.
