How far away from a fire hydrant must a vehicle be parked?

10 feet
15 feet
20 feet
25 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

A 10 feet is too close and could block access to the hydrant in case of fire or emergency. B: 15 feet is closer to the correct answer, but still not far enough to ensure access to the hydrant. D: 25 feet is farther than necessary and may be too restrictive in busy urban areas. In general, the recommended distance for parking near a fire hydrant is 20 feet. This distance allows for enough space for a fire truck to maneuver and access the hydrant without obstruction. It also ensures that the fire hose can reach the vehicle in case of a fire. Therefore, Option C, 20 feet, is the best answer.
