because Oxygen is a required chemical for the thermal/chemical reaction that is fire.
If you place a large glass container over the flame and seal all exits, you will see the flame slowly die out.
For fire you need three main ingredients. First you need a fuel, this fuel can be anything that burns like wood for example. Second you need oxygen, without oxygen a fire cannot burn. Finally you need heat, even though fires give off heat you still need it to start a fire. If you remove any one of these three ingredients then the fire will die.
No, fire does not need water to exist. In fact, water is commonly used to extinguish fire by cooling the fuel and removing heat. Water can help to put out a fire by suffocating it or by removing one of the elements needed for combustion, which is 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.
You need fuel to start a fire because fuel provides the material that can be ignited to produce heat and sustain the combustion process. The fuel source, such as wood, paper, gas, or charcoal, undergoes a chemical reaction when exposed to heat, resulting in combustion that generates the flames and heat of a fire. Without fuel, there is nothing to sustain the fire.
You can remove heat from a fire by cutting off its oxygen supply, using a fire extinguisher, or dousing it with water. Removing the heat source or covering the fire with a non-flammable material can also help extinguish the fire by reducing heat.

Fuel, oxygen and heat.
To create a fire you need a fuel source of some kind, oxygen (O2), and a heat source.

Fuel, oxygen, & an energy (heat) source.
Fire, all fire, every fire consists of 3 things: Heat, Fuel & Oxygen. When all 3 are together in the right mix you have fire, if one or more elements is not sufficient then you cannot have fire. You therefore need as much heat as necessary along with the fuel & oxygen to maintain the fire. The specific answer is that the balance of the 3 must be correct. Quantifying that, however, is a different matter.
Yes it does. If either fuel oxygen or heat were not sufficient or absent, fire would not be able to be sustained or ignited. :)
True (You Need Heat, Fuel, and Combustible) ABC Extinguishers Cool down the fire breaking the fire triangle by removing the heat.
Oxygen, fuel, heat. (remove any one of these three and your fire will go out)
No, they do not, but if your home is cold, a small heat lamp may be necessary.
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
