SAN FRANCISCO FIREBOAT 2
San Francisco Fire
Department
"Guardian"
"Fireboat 2"
1951 Fireboat
Built by Yarrows, Ltd, Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada
Originally owned and operated by the Vancouver, BC Fire Department
from 1951 until it became surplus in 1990.
88' LOA - 21' 6" beam - 7' draft
26,000 GPM
Following the 1989 San Francisco Earthquakes, during which the
SFD Fireboat 1 "Phoenix" pumped millions of gallons of water
to battle the conflagration, some anonymous donors purchased
the surplus Vancouver boat and donated to the City of San Francisco.
Fireboat 2 was named the "Guardian" once reaching San Francisco.
It is docked with the other fireboats at Station 35.
