In Texas, vehicles must be parked at least 15 feet away from a fire hydrant to ensure that firefighters have unobstructed access in case of an emergency. Violating this rule can result in fines and the potential towing of the vehicle. This regulation is crucial for public safety, as quick access to fire hydrants can save lives and property during a fire. Always check local regulations, as they may vary by city.
A vehicle should never be parked closer than 15 feet to a fire hydrant. This distance is important to ensure that firefighters have quick and unobstructed access to the hydrant in case of an emergency. Parking too close can impede fire response efforts and may result in fines or towing.
15 feetADDITIONAL: Use caution when applying the above answer. That may be the law in some states. Other states (or municipalities) may have different restrictions.
Each state in the U.S. can vary on this law. Of the four states I have had a license, three allow no closer than 15 feet. (Washington state, North Carolina, Texas) Oregon lets you park as close as 10 feet to a hydrant.

Of course it seems like the moving vehicle is. They should have left a note if they were an individual with morals and who would'nt like that to be done to them. ADDITIONAL INFO: Though each accident is handled on a case by case basis, generally the operator of the moving vehicle would be at fault, however instances where a vehicle is illegally parked or grossly impeding traffic may warrant further investigation. In such cases it would be possible to make a case for the illegally parked vehicle be at fault. In such a case of an illegally parked vehicle the owner of the vehicle, even if not deemed at fault, would more than likely at least receive a citation. If such action occurred, then it would be easier for the operator of the moving vehicle, even though they were determined to be at fault, to make a case that if the illegally parked vehicle were not illegally parked in the first place then the accident would have never happened.
