There are trade-offs with hose reels and portable extinguishers.
One advantage of a hose reel is that it has a bigger supply of water than any portable extinguisher, assuming it has been properly maintained.
More water means a person can extinguish a larger amount of fire, all things being equal (type of fire, amount of fuel, location, etc).
However, hose reels require more training than an extinguisher, cannot be moved beyond a limited space, cannot be used on all types of fires, and can cause massive amounts of damage if used improperly (flooding, water damage, broken windows, etc).
