If the fire is hot enough, and there is enough oxygen, the steel will burn. (think cutting torch) The simplest answer is that the steel heats up. A cutting torch doesn't "burn" the metal away... it melts the metal along your cutting line. Very few chemicals can oxidize steel with enough ferocity to burn it with a flame. A couple of exceptions that I have seen in my career were F2 and ClF3. Of course those are very strong oxidizers. Heating steel to a prescribed temperature then either quenching it quickly or holding the temperature a a certain level for a period of time will alter the grain structure and therefore the properties of the steel. Think tempering. You can learn much more about that by researching steel phase diagrams. Time-temperature relationships are the oldest and most common methods of changing a metals strength and hardness.

What happens when you put steel wool near a heating vent?
Steel wool can ignite when exposed to high heat, such as from a heating vent, because of its fine and flammable nature. It can catch fire and potentially lead to a hazardous situation. It's important to keep flammable materials away from heating vents to prevent accidents.
What happens if you put steel in Bleach?
When steel is placed in bleach, a chemical reaction occurs. The bleach will start to oxidize the steel, causing it to rust. This can result in the formation of iron oxide, which gives the appearance of the steel surface corroding or breaking down.

When you put candy in fire, it will melt and possibly catch on fire due to its high sugar content. Some candies may also release toxic fumes when burned, so it's not a safe or recommended experiment.
