Fire Drills
Jurupa Unified fire alarm systems are operational and monitored 24/7. In the event of a fire alarm activation, the local fire department is automatically dispatched — this dispatch cannot be canceled. All staff must exercise caution and maintain clear communication during fire drills. 
Each site must have two secretaries trained and authorized to make fire drill requests: 
  • One will serve as the primary requester.
  • The other will serve as a backup in the primary’s absence. ​
Jurupa Unified currently uses two fire alarm monitoring centers: 
Fire Drill Procedure
Monitoring centers will NOT ac​cept telephone requests.
To place ​the fire alarm system on test mode/offline, follow these steps:
Email at least 72 hours in advance of the scheduled fire ​drill. 
The test mode should begin 15 minutes before the scheduled fire drill and conclude 45 minutes after the fire drill concludes.
Confirmation Email
To ensure that your request is honored by the monitoring center, please make sure that the email includes the Site Principal and the mentioned Maintenance and Operations staff. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your site is NOT in test mode or offline, and the fire department will be dispatched if the alarm activates. For any cancellations or rescheduling, notify the appropriate fire monitoring center and M&O immediately.
False Alarms
During School Hours
  • Verify if the alarm was set off by accident or is not an emergency.
  • If it is a false alarm, the site secretary will notify the M&O office immediately at (951) 360-2761.
  • M&O will contact the fire monitoring center to attempt to downgrade the fire department dispatch.
After Hours
  • Verify if the alarm was set off by accident or is not an emergency.
  • If it is a false alarm, the night custodian or night custodian lead will need to call On-Call immediately at (951) ​453-2079.
  • ​On-Call will contact the monitoring center to try to downgrade the fire department dispatch. 
We do not want to downgrade the dispatch in an emergency; please always verify that it is a false alarm.
