Technically, no, but there still is a fire hazard. Oxygen itself is not flammable. It does, however support the burning of flammable substances; this is how fires burn normally. Oxygen tanks provide pure oxygen (nearly 5 times the natural concentration), which means that any flammable substances in contact with it will be more easily ignited and will burn hotter and faster if a fire starts.
