I was told that fireproof safes can lose all their effectiveness if they fall from a height through floorboards, so the ground floor is the safest place for them.

Hmmmm.
Methinks if things got to the stage where safes were falling through floorboards from a height into an inferno you might be happy to be out alive

We bought a fair sized safe about 5 or 6 years ago. Mainly to keep the house deeds, investment bonds/certificates, passports etc in.
It's fireproof, waterproof and bolted (from the inside) to a concrete floor, in a very awkward to get at site. But then it should be shouldn't it.
Annoying when I want to get anything out though.
It has a key lock and a keypad lock. So you need the key and the code to open it.

An Excellent safe with plenty of room.

Voted by Which? as Best on Test in March 2006. Which? says "The Burton (GMK4, but all models are made to the same specification) is easily the most secure safe we tested. It successfully passed every trial our experts put it through. We drilled it, hammered it, and tried to wedge open the door with a hammer and chisel, but it wouldn't budge. It's the only model on test we couldn't get into at all
