When parking near a fire hydrant, the allowed distance is typically 15 feet (approximately 4.5 meters) in most places. This is the standard rule in many U.S. states to ensure access for firefighters. Some states have exceptions with shorter distances allowed, such as 10 feet in Connecticut and Oregon, 8 feet in Rhode Island, 7.5 feet in Tennessee, 6 feet in Vermont, and as close as 5 feet in Iowa. In other countries, such as the Philippines, the required parking distance from a fire hydrant is about 4 meters. In summary, the most common and widely adopted rule is to park at least 15 feet (4.5 meters) away from a fire hydrant unless local laws specify otherwise.
