What is the maximum distance a standpipe can be situated from a hydrant?

The maximum distance a standpipe can be situated from a hydrant is 100 feet. This distance is established to ensure that firefighters have adequate access to water supply when they need to connect hoses for firefighting operations. If the standpipe is located too far from the hydrant, it could delay response times and potentially hinder effective firefighting efforts. The 100-foot distance is generally considered a standard that balances accessibility and practical firefighting logistics, allowing for efficient operations while ensuring that water can be delivered promptly in emergency situations. This criterion supports the safety and effectiveness of firefighting within the jurisdiction's regulations for emergency response.
