Fireworks use solid oxidizers within the chemical makeup of the charge. The chemical oxidizer fulfills the need for both oxygen and fuel in the fire equation. All that is needed is heat. Or just the surronding air.
The flame
1 second, honey!
An explosion of a firework requires heat to ignite the chemicals within the firework. Once ignited, the explosion of the firework releases light, sound, and heat energy as the chemicals burn and react.
No, lighting a firework is not irreversible. Once ignited, the firework will burn and explode, but the process itself is not permanent. The chemical reactions that produce the light and sound are temporary and do not alter the firework in a permanent way.
The oxygen consumption in a firework is a chemical change, as it involves the rearrangement of atoms and the formation of new molecules. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light, resulting in the colorful display we see in a firework explosion.

No. Burning a pinecone or any other flammable material will consume oxygen.

no because the tampon's cloth will not burn correctly. But you can make a fire out of it.

Yes. Firework shows are often canceled due to burn bans.
the match
Oxygen itself does not catch fire, but it is a key component that allows fires to burn. Fire needs three things to occur: fuel, heat, and oxygen. When these three elements come together in the right proportions, a fire can ignite and burn. Oxygen supports the combustion process by reacting with the fuel in a fire to produce heat and light.
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.
A hissing firework is commonly referred to as a "whistle" or "whistling firework." These fireworks produce a high-pitched sound as they ascend into the air, often accompanied by colorful effects when they explode. The hissing sound is created by the rapid release of air or gases as they burn.
