Yes, but not by itself. Fire still needs a source of fuel to ignite. Air has a % of oxygen which the fire needs to feed on. Air is not conbustible but it will feed a fire get higher and bigger.

No it's impossible to breathe fire because fire has chemicals that can make you choke or suffocate especially if you have Asthma like me if there was a fire in my house and i couldn't get through all the stuff that have fallen and me in the room with all that smoke i could've died so yeah it's impossible .Even if you have Allergies to the chemicals you wouldn't survive at all so you your parents your kids be careful always have a adult or an eye on what your doing just in case something bad happens that includes fire in it and your asthma and allergies to.
