No. The sun is not a fire like we encounter on Earth. It is powered by nuclear fusion rather than combustion. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms are fusing to form helium atoms, which releases many orders of magnitude more energy than any combustion reaction. Carbon and oxygen are present in the sun in small concentrations, but the sun is too hot for molecules to form.
