How far away must you park from a fire hydrant?

At least 3 meters
At least 5 meters
At least 10 meters
At least 15 meters

The correct answer is: At least 5 meters

The correct answer is that you must park at least 5 meters away from a fire hydrant. This distance is mandated to ensure that firefighters have adequate access to the hydrant in case of an emergency. When a fire occurs, every second counts, and any obstruction, including parked vehicles, can hinder emergency responders from quickly connecting their hoses to the hydrant. Parking too close to a fire hydrant can not only obstruct this access but can also result in fines or penalties for the driver. Understanding these regulations enhances public safety by allowing for efficient emergency response. The other distances provided, while they may appear reasonable, do not align with the standard legal requirement set for parking near fire hydrants in many jurisdictions, including British Columbia.
