It can happen where all of combustible material, a source of oxygen, and a source of heat are present. Rockets fire in space all the time. However, the combustion actually occurs within a non-vacuum, the space occupied by the combustible material (e.g. hydrazine) and the oxidizing agent (e.g. nitrogen tetroxide). In a true vacuum, having no matter means having no combustible materials.
