It’s your hotel, it’s burning down, you did not renew the insurance and all your cash was stashed under the mattress in your room.

Nope, the answer is closer to home (hint) than that...

Own house on fire.

You have just parked on a road, when you see a bright red hotel. You suddenly realise that you are bankrupt.

What is going on here?

Monopoly by the sound of it....

Yes!!! @rebrascora has the right answer.

How about this one? Posed by Genesis at the end of "Dodo" from the album Three Sides Live.

Clothes of brass,
Hair of brown,
Seldom need to breathe,
Don't need no wings to fly,
And a heart of stone,
And a fear of fire and water —
Who am I?

Is it a Submarine

Close but no — whatever is healthy these days. What type of submarine?

Nobody has given the correct answer in over a week, so here goes:

Spoiler

A nuclear submarine.

"Clothes of brass" — what submarines are made of.
"Hair of brown" — the seaweed that collects on the hull.
"Seldom need to breathe" — a nuclear submarine needs air only for the crew, not the engines.
"Don't need no wings to fly" — submarine crews refer to the sub's motion through the water as "flying".
"And a heart of stone" — the uranium rods in the reactor.
"And a fear of fire and water" — fire because there's nowhere to go to escape, water because it means that your sub is leaking.
