Guardian (fireboat) Guardian is a fireboat owned by San Francisco Fire Department and operated in the San Francisco Bay since 1990 in reserve status.

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"
