Nitric-oxide is used in automobiles, drag racers, to boost the amount of oxygen available to the engine. It causes a rapid burn. Where it is dangerous is that it will make any flame burn rapidly and sometimes out of control or at an explosive rate. Although it doesn't burn by itself, it can cause an explosion in the right combination with fuel.
