Should you go upstairs during a fire alarm?
The answer depends upon your situation! If you are in a basement of a dwelling, and the fire exit is upstairs, then it would be wise to go upstairs to exit when the fire alarm sounds. If you are below decks in a ship, going upstairs may also be the only way to get to safety when an alarm sounds. In other situations, where you are already at the ground floor or above, going upstairs may be a poor choice. However, there are high-rise alarm systems that will, in fact, direct some people "upstairs" away from a fire, at least temporarily. In theory, this allows firefighters time to enter and put out the fire. In reality, it may put occupants at a higher risk by moving them further from the only workable exits, at the ground floor.

Is the landlord responsible for emptying the septic tank?
It's under the ground of the property, yes. It's deemed a fixture of the property and must be repaired at the expense of the landlord. The issue would lie if such a provision existed in your lease stating that such responsibility is that of the tenant. However, a court would more than likely toss this provision as unconscionable because a tenant that is renting is not assuming the likelihood of damages to something that could not have reasonably inspected (you can't see through the ground).

Is the attic the first floor or 2nd floor?
If you are talking about a house, the attic would be on the third floor as you have a ground floor (first floor), then a second floor (upstairs) and then a third floor (the attic), However if it was a bungalow, it would be on the second floor because bungalow's don't have an upstairs.
