So, you learn something everyday and I want to thank again, the nice lady at fire prevention (sorry, I forgot to get her name).

I have one between my house and my neighbors and people park there all the time. I tried to find out how far away a person should be but received no response from the fire dept or police dept. I guess I have to go out and measure so I can tell my guests where to park. I think they could paint the fire hydrants too, they look awful. Rust color is not very attractive, I wonder if the Design Review Committee could send one of those letters to the fire dept asking them to take better care of their hydrants. :-) The curbs should be painted red so we can see the 15' in either direction.

Paul got 'one' 2 yrs. ago parked by our daughter's home. You are suppose to be 15 ft. from the hydrant. She lives in a gated community so the police patrol there also. Believe it!
