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.
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.
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.

Copper burns with a green flame when ignited with oxygen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Valco Infrared heater can be used as a space heater. The can save you lots of money on energy costs.
It's integrated into the oxygen sensor. Buy a new oxygen sensor and you get a free oxygen sensor heater.
