∙ 9y agoVehicles other than fire department vehicles using them, should not be parked closer than 15 feet in most jurisdictions. Of course, I actually seen vehicles parked much closer, some directly in front of a hydrant. The owner of one of those vehicle had the misfortune of parking there when a fire broke out; the firefighters smashed his side windows, and ran their hoses through the car. He also got tickets every few minutes for the entire time the vehicle was trapped there; most fires lasting for several hours, I suspect he may still be paying those fines today, several years after the event.
