 Subsequent to the 1989 earthquake, $ 50,000 from grateful Marina property owners, and $ 300,000 from an anonymous donor were used to provide Phoenix with a colleague. Guardian, an older fireboat built in 1951, was purchased from the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, and refurbished. She was piloted down the Pacific Coast to dock alongside Phoenix at Pier 22 ½. In 1999, the shared fireboat house was declared San Francisco's 225th Historic Landmark.
