Supplemental oxygen from portable or stationary tanks
No
There are two different types of oxygen tanks: Liquid and Gas. Both have pros and cons, but the pro for liquid tanks is you can carry a smaller tank and have more time, but there are some safety issues. The con for gas is, if you are a person on continuous oxygen, the tanks do not last long resulting in transporting more tanks which is also a safety issue.

No. Oxygen itself is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Oxygen tanks do, however present a fire hazard. Normal air is 21% oxygen, while oxygen tanks carry 100% oxygen. A higher concentration of oxygen makes it easier to ignite flammable materials and allows a fire to burn hotter.
Yes,Airplanes can explode because their Fuel Tanks. The Fuel Tanks contain Fuel.
Volatile explosive fuels such as hydrazine cannot be exposed to oxygen or chemicals containing oxygen, or they may burn or explode. Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen have to be kept extremely cold or they will revert to gaseous form with a tremendous pressure. The storage tanks and onboard fuel tanks are highly insulated to keep out heat.

Pure Oxygen is stored either as a gas in high pressure gas cylinders or as a liquid in large cryogenic tanks. Highly Flammable. :)
The tanks have a small (light) fuel can each on the back (right side). Shoot the fuel cans and the tanks will explode.
Nitrous oxide tanks are BLUE
Medical and industrial oxygen is typically made by liquefying and fractionating air which is 21% oxygen. Gas suppliers then ship the oxygen either in liquid form or as compressed gas in pressure cylinders. Hospitals typically have large liquid oxygen tanks which provide all the gaseous oxygen to the wall outlets via pipes. Additionally, there are pressure tanks of gaseous oxygen for portable and emergency use. However, there is some growth in molecular sieve technologies which can allow hospitals to filter nearly pure oxygen directly from the air.

no
Firefighters typically get oxygen tanks from their fire department or fire station. These tanks are filled with compressed oxygen and are essential for providing breathable air to firefighters in hazardous or smoke-filled environments.
Astronauts bring tanks of oxygen with them when they go into space. The space suits they use to make space walks also have small oxygen tanks on them.
