Fire fighting school in the 1970s taught us 15% oxygen level si necessary to support combustion.
In a natural situation, no. Current levels of CO2 are 0.038% Levels of over 15% would be needed to even slow the burn down. Lack of Oxygen would be the determining factor

Can hydrogen support combustion?
Hydrogen is a fuel for combustion, but cannot support it in the manner than oxygen can.
Does nitrous oxide support combustion?
yes,above 600C it supports combustion
Does hydrogen gas support combustion?
no
Does chlorine support combustion?
Chlorine gas supports the vigorous combustion of many elements to form their chlorides. For example, Sulphur and Phosphorus burn in the gas.
What will a burning splint do in nitrogen?
It will go out. Nitrogen, which makes up 79% of the Earth's atmosphere, does not support combustion.
Does atmospheric methane burn in a thunderstorm?
No. Methane is only present in small amounts in the atmosphere; not nearly enough to support combustion. A setup in which it could support combustion would not be stable; a single spark would set the entire atmosphere on fire.
Does carbon dioxide support the combustion of fuels such as wood?
It does not support combustion...
