Subject: Sizing tanks with hydrants?

When sizing a water storage tank feeding a fire pump for a new facility with 
multiple sprinkler systems and fire hydrants, do you have to include any type 
of allowance for the hydrants? The tank will be the sole source of supply for 
all (rural area). There will be no hose stations or standpipes, only interior 
sprinkler systems - OH Group II with monitored alarms.
Typically this would be an 18,000 gallon tank minimum (.20x1500x60 mins). I 
don't see anywhere that requires this, just making sure.

 

Thank you in advance.
