What is the closest distance you are legally allowed to park from a fire hydrant?

3 metres
5 metres
7 metres
10 metres

The correct answer is: 5 metres

The legal distance you are required to park from a fire hydrant is 5 metres. This regulation is in place to ensure that fire services have immediate access to hydrants during emergencies. Parking too close can impede fire trucks and other emergency vehicles from accessing the hydrant and may delay critical response times in the event of a fire. By keeping a distance of 5 metres, you help ensure that emergency responders can operate effectively and safely without obstructions. This distance is significant enough to allow the necessary space for the equipment needed to connect to the hydrant and to maneuver fire trucks around it. Although shorter distances may seem convenient, they can create potential hazards, making the adherence to this regulation crucial for community safety.
