Practice question

How close can you park to a fire hydrant?

  1. At least 15 feet away
  2. Anywhere on the street
  3. Within 10 feet
  4. More than 25 feet away

Answer: D — More than 25 feet away

You should park more than 25 feet away from a fire hydrant. This is because in case of a fire, the fire department will need space to access the hydrant and use it. Parking too close to a fire hydrant can also result in a parking ticket or your car being towed. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because parking within 15 feet, anywhere on the street, or within 10 feet can obstruct access to the hydrant and pose a safety hazard for those trying to use it.
