Feet to Fire Hydrant

[FLagent00]

Possibly a stupid question but this is a common question I have seen in homeowners apps. Is there a simple way to figure this out?

Google maps or google street view & try to get pics that way.

Google street view is awesome for that, but it's not always up to date, I've run into newly placed hydrants that didn't show up on it. It's old fashioned, but if all else fails and you can't find any within 500/1000 feet, call the servicing fire department and ask them the closest hydrant if you don't find any. It's five minutes well spent if it makes the difference between closing the sale and not, and I HAVE found new-ish hydrants this way on occasion.
