Partnership brings together Fire and EMS records management and specialized controlled substance accountability to create a more unified EMS workflow
OVIEDO, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EPR Fireworks, provider of an integrated Fire and EMS Records Management System (RMS), today announced a preferred strategic partnership with Schedule2.IT, a controlled substance tracking and compliance platform serving Fire, EMS, and other medical agencies.
The partnership brings together two critical parts of EMS operations: the patient care record and the accountability surrounding controlled substances used during that encounter. By connecting these workflows, EPR Fireworks and Schedule2.IT aim to reduce the need for providers and agencies to navigate separate systems and duplicate processes.
EPR Fireworks provides departments with one configurable system for managing Fire and EMS operations, bringing together ePCR, incident reporting, NERIS reporting, inspections and preplans, training, analytics, and other critical workflows. The partnership extends that approach by connecting specialized controlled substance technology directly to the patient care workflow.
“One patient encounter shouldn’t require two disconnected workflows,” said Neil Arsenault, Chief Revenue Officer at EPR Fireworks. “This partnership brings together the strengths of both platforms so EMS providers can move from medication administration to patient care documentation through a more unified workflow, with less friction for crews in the field.”
Schedule2.IT is purpose-built for controlled substance accountability, giving agencies visibility and control across the medication lifecycle, from inventory and chain of custody to reconciliation, waste, diversion, and compliance reporting. Its capabilities include barcode-enabled workflows and tracking across personnel, apparatus, stations, and inventory locations.
Through the integration, providers can document the patient encounter in EPR Fireworks while the associated controlled substance activity is managed through Schedule2.IT, creating a more seamless path from medication administration through patient care documentation and medication accountability.
“Controlled substance accountability is more than knowing how many vials are in a box—it requires understanding the entire medication lifecycle and the regulatory responsibilities that come with it,” said Drew Saucier of Schedule2.IT. “Schedule2.IT brings decades of healthcare, pharmaceutical logistics, and compliance experience into workflows built specifically for Fire and EMS. Our partnership with EPR Fireworks connects that depth of controlled substance accountability directly to the patient care record, giving agencies a more complete and practical approach to managing medications from receipt through final disposition.”
A Preferred Partnership Focused on Fire and EMS
Under the partnership, EPR Fireworks will serve as Schedule2.IT’s preferred Fire and EMS RMS partner, while Schedule2.IT will serve as EPR Fireworks’ preferred partner for narcotics tracking and controlled substance compliance.
For EPR Fireworks, the partnership supports a broader vision of bringing the systems departments rely on into one operational environment while connecting specialized technology where it adds value. For Schedule2.IT, it connects controlled substance accountability to the patient care and records management workflows where medication use is documented.

EPR Fireworks and Schedule2.IT will host a joint webinar demonstrating the integration in a real-world EMS workflow, including how medication administration, controlled substance accountability, and patient care documentation work together.

About Schedule2.IT
Schedule2.IT is a purpose-built controlled substance accountability and compliance platform for Fire, EMS, air medical, and other medical organizations. Built by a team with decades of experience across government and healthcare technology, pharmaceutical inventory management, and logistics, Schedule2.IT combines deep controlled-substance expertise with workflows designed specifically for the realities of field medicine.
Unlike general inventory systems, Schedule2.IT makes compliance part of the day-to-day medication lifecycle—from receiving and chain of custody through possession, medication use, waste, reconciliation, quarantine, destruction, and regulatory reporting. The platform combines FDA National Drug Code Directory-backed product data, GS1 healthcare barcode scanning, individual vial tracking, DEA Form 41 destruction workflows, biennial inventory reporting, and auditable records across personnel, apparatus, stations, and inventory locations.
Schedule2.IT is designed to support a wide range of medication supply models, including agency-managed bulk supply, hospital pharmacy replenishment, box and kit exchange, and controlled-substance inventories associated with automated dispensing environments such as Pyxis and Omnicell. By connecting pharmacy-grade medication data and compliance controls with practical Fire and EMS workflows, Schedule2.IT helps agencies reduce manual processes, strengthen accountability, and maintain visibility from the point controlled substances are received through their final use or disposition.
Beyond the technology, Schedule2.IT places a strong emphasis on education and best-practice guidance. The team actively monitors evolving DEA requirements, state regulations, and controlled substance practices, helping customers understand not only how to use the platform, but how to build stronger accountability and compliance processes into day-to-day Fire and EMS operations.
