Hose reels were very popular up until the late 70's early 80's and since then they have rapidly declined in popularity.
They haven't been put in new builds for a considerable number of years now and in the buildings where they were put in during the 60's/70's the vast majority have been drained off or removed completely and this withdrawal continues over time in a pretty painless way as most buildings have extinguisher provision that discounts the hose reels so no extras are required.
The pros and cons have been done to death in several threads in this forum so I won't repeat them (again).
Although fiction 'The Towering Inferno' illustrates early on one of the flaws of hose reels in normal buildings - the users in this case would have long since evacuated safely if they had only messed around for 15 seconds with the US mainstay of the 5lb ABC Powder extinguisher
