On which day in 1989 did this earthquake occur in which the fireboat "Phoenix" was instrumental in saving the Marina District buildings from further destruction?
Guardian (fireboat) Guardian is a fireboat owned by San Francisco Fire Department and operated in the San Francisco Bay since 1990 in reserve status. "Guardian" was a gift to the people of San Francisco by anonymous donors following the notable role of the fireboat "Phoenix" in helping to save the Marina District buildings from further destruction by fire following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Both "Guardian" and "Phoenix" fireboats are based at Firehouse No. 35 at Pier 22½ of the Port of San Francisco. "Guardian" has 5 pumps which can deliver up to 26,000 gallons of water per minute, significantly more than "Phoenix"
1989 Pacific typhoon season The 1989 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1989, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Tropical Storms forming in the Western Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
