That is actually a very interesting question. When something like wood starts to burn, it heats the wood itself, and this heat is enough to vapourize many of flammable compounds that makeup wood itself, organic molecules such as ketones, aldehydes, hydrocarbons. Once these molecules escape from the burning piece of wood and encounter oxygen, but as the piece of wood gets hotter and volatile compounds are released faster, the oxygen immediately around the burning wood is consumed and the flammable molecules has to travel further away before it bumps into a oxygen molecule and combust.
