Technically, no, but there still is a fire hazard. Oxygen itself is not flammable. It does, however support the burning of flammable substances; this is how fires burn normally. Oxygen tanks provide pure oxygen (nearly 5 times the natural concentration), which means that any flammable substances in contact with it will be more easily ignited and will burn hotter and faster if a fire starts.

Why do space rockets have to carry a supply of oxygen?
In space there is no oxygen. Space is a vacuum. All things like a rocket going to space, require a fuel to burn, oxygen and a heater. Since there is no oxygen is space they need to provide it for them. Meaning the reaction can take place correctly.
How do you burn fire in outer space?
It is not possible to burn a fire in outer space because fire requires oxygen to burn, and in the vacuum of space where there is no oxygen, there can be no combustion. On space missions, fires are not ignited but rather prevented through strict safety protocols and the use of non-flammable materials.
Is an ignited oxygen balloon a chemical change?
bob
What colour flame is copper when burned with oxygen?
Copper burns with a green flame when ignited with oxygen.
Can natural gas explode?
Yes, natural gas is highly flammable and can explode if it is ignited in an enclosed space with the right amount of oxygen. It is important to follow safety guidelines and precautions when handling or using natural gas to minimize the risk of explosions.
Can you set off a bomb in space?
Yes. In modern warfare, bombs are often ignited whilst they are above the ground. In space there is no air, but most conventional explosives contain substances that produce oxygen for the reaction. So they will work in a vacuum. Nuclear explosions also do not require oxygen. So Yes.
Why is liquid oxygen used in space shuttles?
Liquid oxygen is used in space shuttles as an oxidizer for the spacecraft's fuel, typically liquid hydrogen. When mixed and ignited, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen create a powerful and efficient chemical reaction that generates the necessary thrust for the shuttle to break free of Earth's gravity and enter space. It is a highly efficient and reliable propellant choice for space missions.
Is it safe to have a space heater?
It is safe to have a space heater, but it does have risks like anything else. If someone wants to use a space heater, they should be very careful.
Is it efficient to use a Valco Infrared heater as a space heater?
Valco Infrared heater can be used as a space heater. The can save you lots of money on energy costs.
Where exactly is the location of your oxygen sensor heater in a 2002 rodeo?
It's integrated into the oxygen sensor. Buy a new oxygen sensor and you get a free oxygen sensor heater.
What does the error code p0155 mean on a dodge ram?
Right upstream oxygen sensor heater failure.Right upstream oxygen sensor heater failure.
When the fuse ignited the contents of a firework oxygen is consumed as a result of which type of change?
chemical
