This car parks here for several hours everyday. I thought it is illegal to park in front of or near fire hydrants?

Cars are suppose to be 15 feet away from a fire hydrant. I had a friend who received a ticket who was about 6-8 feet from the hydrant and they were told the law is 15 feet. So, yes, it is illegal to park "near" a fire hydrant.

Thank you for your submission to See Click Fix. I am assigning this issue to your Neighborhood Beat Officer Will Pierce.
