Where is 911 filmed? The Season 3 Tsunami Filming Location

After filming a massive earthquake in Los Angeles during the last season, the 9-1-1 series strikes again with a new disaster.

This time the popular Fox show opens wiping out the historical Santa Monica Pier.

The returning cast is led by Oliver Stark (firefighter Buck), who will be running (and swimming) for his life, along with Angela Bassett (sergeant Athena), Peter Krause (Bobby), and Connie Britton (Abby).

Here is our filming locations report about the 9-1-1 series filmed in Los Angeles and Mexico:

The production shot some scenes on the actual pier in Santa Monica. Then the filmmakers recreated a few streets and a piece of the pier in the Baja Studios in Rosarito (Mexico), as Entertainment Weekly reported.

The second episode will focus on the flooding and the rescue team sent to help the people trapped at the top of the Ferris wheel.

Making a tsunami: The Baja Studios Tank 1 set is an infinite horizon pond overlooking the Pacific, built in 1997 specifically to film James Cameron's Titanic.

The studio features a smaller outdoor water tank and two more indoor stages to host the large productions that use the facilities.
