Best Answer

The Oxygen fuels the reaction in a fire, oxygen is necessary for combustion.

As the reaction takes place hydrocarbons are produced. These gas particles are produced from incomplete combustion of longer chains of hydrocarbons (wood). Heat rises, so do the gas particles as they continue to react (burn).

Combusion is considered complete when the hydrocarbon bonds are all broken producing water (hydrogen/oxygen) and carbon dioxide (carbon/oxygen).
