It probably varies by local ordnance from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the city where I began my career as a beat cop it was 20 feet either side of the hydrant.
The "how many feet" rule is different in different in states. The safe rule is to leave one cars length (SUV might be better) between the hydrant and your car.

Standard distance for parking from hydrant is 2 car lengths. Page 67 of the Maryland Drivers Handbook states you must be 15 feet from a fire hydrant, that is about 1 car length.
Better to park your car 20 feet away from the Fire Hydrant System because it is an emergency system. Anytime we need to keep it ready for use.Added: Once again, as it is with most traffic regulations, it depends on what jurisdiction you live in. Some locales specify a distance of 25 feet from a fire hydrant.As a general rule it is best to assume that you should leave at least one car's length of distance on either side of the fire hydrant to be safe.
15 feet
You must park more than 50 feet away from rail road tracks. 10 feet from a hydrant. 25 feet from a crosswalk. 50 feet from a stop sign. and more than 20 feet of the driveway entrance to a fire station and over 75 feet on the side opposite a fire station entrance.
The distance is related to the length of a fire hose and the travel path of the tender from the hydrant to the point of fire attack. This could vary but be a normal max of 93m.
