Hmm, I'm going with B. 150 ft (46 m). Anything longer and the firefighters might as well bring their hiking boots.

A. 50 ft (15 m) is way too short. Are they expecting the firefighters to jump out of the truck and sprint the rest of the way?

But wouldn't a closer access road be safer in case of emergencies?

C. 300 ft (91 m) makes the most sense to me. Anything more than that and the fire department would be struggling to respond.

C) 300 ft (91 m) is definitely the best option for ensuring quick access for the fire department.

B) 150 ft (46 m) could work, but 300 ft (91 m) gives them more room to maneuver.

D. 450 ft (137 m) seems a bit excessive, don't you think? How are they supposed to get there in time?
