Right, sometimes the systems might be mechanically complete and had been hydro tested but the GC doesn't want them active because of the on-going construction and possibility that someone will cut or drill into a live line, or bust a head while moving materials. There are supposed to be portable fire extinguishers located throughout during construction and hot work procedures observed to prevent fires within buildings like this. Since they said there were workers in the building it's questionable as to how the fire got out of control if extinguishers were located as required.

Many times our systems are tested and pass the hydro but the system is left off because the fire alarm contractor hasn't completed his system yet. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

My guess is that someone had not turned the water on. If it was tested and passed the inspection than the only thing missing would be water. Maybe they felt that the water should not be turned on until the building was occupied.
