RE: NFPA 1142
Per 1142, 7.2.1 The minimum water supply required for any structure without exposure hazards shall not be less than 2000 gal
However, that is a starting point. You would have to look at the local building / fire codes to determine your fire flow demand based on construction type, sprinkler protection, area of facility, etc... I believe it is in appendix B or C of the IFC that tells what fire flows are to be. If you are under another Code, just reference the fire code and it should be there.
