Abstract	If one word can characterize what may be troubling about risk management in today's schools, it is "complacency." Complacency is a negative behavior that could entrap people into letting their guard down. In "The School Business Administrator," authors Kenneth Stevenson and Don Tharpe write: "A successful school business administrator has a probing and questioning mind. The professional business administrator has the viewpoint of a scientist in running the administration, constantly appraising conditions. He/she is not content with existing conditions, but seeks a better answer or a better way of doing things." In that vein, this article, the first of two on risk management in today's schools, looks at fire. (ERIC).
