Oxygen does not seek out heat, but it is very reactive and as a result will often undergo large or violent chemical reactions when exposed to enough energy (ie.exposed to enough heat)

All substances, including oxygen, conduct heat. Oxygen, though, is a poor conductor of heat. Since it is a gas at room temperature it will transfer heat primarily by convection.
The three factors needed for a fire are heat, fuel and oxygen. Note that these are not elements in the chemical sense. (Oxygen is, but most fuels are compounds or mixtures, and heat is energy, not matter.)
the four components of fire are heat, fuel, oxygen and the sustaining chemical reaction

Oxygen
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
Combustion requires three main components: fuel, oxygen, and heat. These three components are necessary for the chemical reaction that produces heat and light to occur during combustion.
Heat
For something to burn, three key elements are required: fuel, heat, and oxygen. The fuel is what will undergo combustion, the heat is necessary to initiate the combustion reaction, and oxygen is needed for the fuel to react and sustain the burning process.
Oxygen O2 is a gas. Gases conduct heat- although they wouldn't generally be considered to be good conductors.
