No, you cannot park next to a fire hydrant. In almost all, if not all municipalities, it is illegal to park within 300ft of a fire hydrant. The reason? To give firefighters plenty of room to find and work around the hydrant when preparing to extinguish a fire. If you park closer than 300ft to a hydrant, you risk having your vehicle ticketed and towed.
Answer: Parking near a fire hydrant is prohibited by the California Vehicle Code regardless of whether the curb is painted red or not. There are several thousand hydrants in County area and it is our longstanding practice to not paint the curb. To do so, would not provide any additional enforcement capability.

You can park next to any color fire hydrant. You can also have your car towed and impounded or at the least receive a ticket with a hefty fine. In movies you see the firefighters breaking out the windows of the car and running a hose through the car. The really mean ones will loosen a connection so the water runs out in the car.
