Depends upon the type of hazard, type of occupancy and type of extinguisher.
For example:
Class A fire extinguishers may be 75 feet away, depending upon what the hazard is
Class B must be within 50 ft of flammable liquids, and smaller fire extinguishers must be within 30 ft, if allowed at all (e.g., a 5-B when a 10-B is 50 ft away).
Class C extinguishers should be within range according to whether the extinguisher is a Class ABC or BC (i.e., 75 ft or 50 ft) for the surrounding fuels.
Class D extinguishers should be within 75 feet.
Class K must be within 30 feet of the kitchen frying station.

Some countries, not all, have certain regulations insisting that fire extinguishers must be easily accessable which means you must not block access to them by placing things too close so to block access.
