Why not just build a small house around the hydrant? That way it'll never be blocked, right?

I'll just put a giant inflatable dragon around the hydrant, that way no one will be able to miss it!

That might not be the best idea, you need to maintain clear space around the hydrant for safety reasons.

60 inches? Seriously? That's the size of a small horse! I'll have to go with the more reasonable 36 inches.

48 inches, really? That's like half the width of a parking spot! I think I'll go with the 36-inch option.

36 inches, that's a nice middle ground. Enough room to access the hydrant, but not too much to waste space.

Hmm, 24 inches seems a bit too close for comfort. Gotta make sure there's enough space for the firefighters to work their magic.
