Any fire or explosive need oxygen to burn but with explosives the oxygen is in the molecule and it reacts with itself. Fuels need external oxygen to cause a explosion. The chemical reaction varies depending on what compound were used to prepare the explosive normally a nitrate (NO, providing the oxygen) and carbon (C, as the fuel).
