The material must be brought to the ignition temperature - for paper that is 451 degrees F. You can do that with a match. Once the ignition temperature is reached the material that starts burning decomposes and releases volatile components which combine with the oxygen in the atmosphere. That reaction is exothermic (releases extra energy). The extra energy drives the burning process and causes more burning to take place....

OK its an exothermic oxidation reaction.
Its always good to take an opposing view as well.
The early "chemists" thought fire was an element.
For an interesting alternative view you could examine the evidence for why the phlogiston theory was rejected.

What happens to gold when it burns in Oxygen?
When gold burns in oxygen, it forms gold oxide (Au2O3). This reaction occurs at very high temperatures and can result in the gold changing in appearance due to the formation of the oxide layer.
What happens if you think you have something in your throat but you don't get it out?
