Ben, Since nobody is responding to you question, I’ll give you my best opinion which has nothing to do with what the code may state.
If there is hose and nozzle attached to the 1 1/2-inch hose valves, then I would think they’re provided for tenant use in addition to a fire extinguisher. However, unless the employees are trained to use the hose, the company would probably not ask them to attempt to fight a large fire due to liability issues. Get out and call the fire department. Also, if there is hose attached, I don’t think a fire department would use the hose for fire fighting operations because they don’t know the condition of the hose. If there is no hose provided, then I think the hose valves are there for the fire department cleanup/mop up operations. I don’t think that they would enter a fire fighting area dragging their own hose and looking for a valve to hook up to. As stated above, these are just my opinions so I hope I don’t upset anyone.
