For Class A hazards, not more than 75 feet from anywhere (i.e., no more than 150 feet apart) or maximum of 11,250 sq ft for a 2-A extinguisher (4-A for high-hazard).

If there are Class B hazards, the rule is either 30 ft or 50 ft, depending upon type of hazard and size of extinguisher (not more than 60 or 100 feet apart).

NFPA 1 National Fire Code (2009) 13.6.8.2.1.1, -3.1.1. Your local fire inspector may modify these criteria to account for other factors.
