Keep a safety clearance around fire hydrants and fire station driveways: you must not park within 5 m of either. This distance ensures firefighters can quickly access a hydrant and that fire trucks can enter and exit without obstruction. If you park closer than 5 m, you could block access and delay emergency response. The other distances aren’t the rule here—the required clearance is 5 m, and violating it can lead to a ticket or towing.
