oxygen.. Fire is a type of combustion reaction that requires sufficient oxygen (O2) to burn properly. Carbon dioxide and water are products of a combustion reaction. The more oxygen that is available, the longer the reaction will take place.

Does pure oxygen make things burn faster?

In general, no, it accelerates / increases fires. If the fire is based on methane, say, and the oxygen displaces all the methane, then the fire will go out. If the oxygen is passed through / across the fire at something approaching supersonic speed, if the fire doesn't go out, it *will* go somewhere else.
