Fires involve chemical reactions. They generally require some kind of heat to begin the chemical reaction, and the reaction begins and releases heat which keeps it going. Like when we burn wood or paper. Heat the fuel sufficiently, it begins to burn and use oxygen out of the air, and it continues until it is cooled, smothered, or runs out of fuel. There are more "exotic" fires, but that's the basic idea in a nutshell.

Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?

While nitrogen is a non-combustible gas that can be used to extinguish fires, it is not entirely accurate to say that without nitrogen in the air, a fire will not burn. Fires require oxygen to burn, and while nitrogen dilutes the oxygen concentration in the air and can help suppress fires, it is not the absence of nitrogen that prevents fires from burning.
