That makes no sense at all. The law in FL is you must park at least 15 feet from a hydrant and it doesn't matter how arbitrary the placement of hydrants is.

Now if we are talking about how close you can place a piece of furniture to a hydrant, I know Sumter County has a rule where you aren't allowed to obstruct the hydrant with anything and had to leave a 3 foot clear radius around the hydrant. I don't know about other areas of TV.
