Best Answer

The OSHA standard requires that fire extinguishers be accessible. They do not specify a particular space, but most locations use about 3 feet as minimum acceptable free space.

Added: You will find that many times these matters are dictated by local or state fire codes. Contact your local fire department or state Fire Marshall's office - they can assist you.
