You should not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant?

  1. 5 feet

  2. 10 feet

  3. 15 feet

  4. 20 feet

The correct answer is: 10 feet

Parking too close to a fire hydrant can block access for emergency vehicles in case of a fire. Option A (5 feet) and Option C (15 feet) are incorrect because they are either too close or too far from the fire hydrant, which can still block access. Option D (20 feet) may seem like a safe distance, but it is not recommended as it can still obstruct the view of the fire hydrant for firefighters. Option B (10 feet) is the appropriate distance to prevent any obstruction and ensure safety for everyone.
