light bulb / electric problem in attic

Yesterday while I was in the attic, the light fixture hissed like a snake, flickered, then went out. The fixture is a bulb in a plain base, turned off and on with a pull chain. I've asked the land lord to come look at it, but am wondering if this is truly an emergency or am I over reacting. The thought of a fire in the attic just about pushes me over the edge.

1. Sounds like it was just a plain old burned out lightbulb.

Don't worry. Those old ceramic bases are some of the most solid light fixtures ever made.
