How far away should a legally parked vehicle be from a fire hydrant?

5 feet
10 feet
15 feet
20 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

A 5 feet is too close to a fire hydrant and can block access for emergency vehicles to access the hydrant. B: While 10 feet is better than 5 feet, it still may limit the space needed for emergency vehicles to properly access the hydrant. C: 15 feet is a common mistaken belief, but this is still not a sufficient distance. In some states, this may even result in a ticket for parking too close to a hydrant. D: While it may seem excessive, 20 feet is the recommended distance for a legally parked vehicle to be from a fire hydrant. This ensures that there is enough space for emergency vehicles to easily and safely access the hydrant. It also helps to prevent any potential damage to the vehicle from fire trucks or other emergency vehicles maneuvering around it.
