Suspected Arson At Huntington State Beach Bathroom

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — A bathroom fire at Huntington State Beach was well underway when fire officials arrived early Wednesday, authorities said.

The fire was reported at just before 3:45 a.m. at Pacific Coast Highway and Brookhurst Street public restroom, a fire dispatcher at Metro Cities Dispatch said.

The fire was out by 4:30 a.m., he said.

The bathrooms are constructed from block, so the flames did damage mostly to the roof of the structure, dispatch said. An arson investigator was called to the scene.
