Oxygen keeps the fire going. In some cases, it can make the fire larger, depending on the amount of oxygen around the fire.

What liquid affects fire the most?
A chemical fire would be affected by the amount of hydrogen in the mixture; in the open, oxygen effects the fire the most.
Is it a good thing to have more oxygen than nitrogen in the air?
No. Too high of an oxygen concentration can have adverse effects on our health and presents a fire hazard.
How oxygen effects fire?
Oxygen is one of three things that must be present for a fire to exist. The three things are:an oxidizer (oxygen is the most common one),fuel (something to burn - that is to combine very rapidly in a chemical reaction with oxygen), anda source of ignition (a spark, heat, etc.)Remove any one of the three and there can be no fire. If you provide more oxygen the fire will burn hotter, or will ignite more easily or at a lower temperature. If you provide more fuel, the fire will burn longer.
What is an oxygen fed-fire?
An oxygen-fed fire is a fire that has (most likely) pure oxygen fueling it. The air we breathe is composed of around 19% oxygen, therefore by adding more oxygen the fire will get hotter.
Fire and oxygen?
Fire is a process of rapid combination with oxygen.
How does oxygen distribute fire?
Oxygen does not distribute fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Fire cannot burn without oxygen, and the more oxygen there is, the hotter and faster a fire will burn. More oxygen also makes it easier for materials to ignite.
What are the useful effects of chemical changes?
Chemical changes are very important!! See an example: when Oxygen combines with Hydrogen, it forms water. Oxygen helps combustion and hydrogen is combustible i.e. both help fire but water helps keep away that fire....
Why is it that fanning burning wood keeps the wood burning?
Fanning them brings in more oxygen. With more oxygen you get more fire.
Why charcoal burns slowly when left undisturbed?
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
What happens when you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?
If you remove fuel, oxygen, or both from a fire, the fire goes out.
What does oxygen do for fire?
Fire is the release of heat and light during the very rapid combination of oxygen with another substance that we call the fuel of the fire. Although there are other oxidizers that can perform a similar function, in most cases in everyday life you cannot have a fire without a source of oxygen.
Is fire under the ocean?
Fire requires oxygen. There is no free oxygen in the ocean. Therefore there can be no fire at the bottom of the ocean.
