Yes- fire is an example of combustion- the reaction with oxygen to produce a variety of products which depend on the material being burnt- burning say coal or oil gives CO2 and CO as well as many other compounds. Yes it is. When you set something on fire, it means you are oxidizing it.

I believe it's combustion (its been a while since classes). Fire needs 3 things to survive, called the fire triangle. They are oxygen, heat and fuel. You add the 4th element (spark) and you get combustion.

Fire is classified as a combustion reaction in chemistry. More generally, it is an oxidation-reduction reaction. It is classified as such because the oxidation states of the materials involved change during the reaction. Carbon is oxidized and oxygen is reduced.
