A part of New Haven's Long Wharf Pier is closed after it caught fire Wednesday afternoon, fire officials said.
Assistant Fire Chief Dan Coughlin said a portion of the pier caught fire and about 10 to 20 feet of it was burned.
Firefighters used a fire boat and ground crews to extinguish the blaze.
Part of the pier is closed off until it's determined to be structurally sound. There's no word yet on the cause, according to Coughlin.
