    Hillsborough County Fire Rescue has protocols for patient transport and time spent at hospitals. Rescue companies must expedite transferring patients to hospital staff upon arrival and complete documentation, cleaning, and resupply within 30 minutes to return to service. If a unit has been at a hospital for 10 minutes, dispatch can consider them available for another call if coverage is lacking, though crews will monitor dispatch and respond if possible or notify dispatch of delays. Any issues preventing a timely transfer or return to service must be documented and reported.
