Fire oXidation

The process of combining oxygen with some other substance or a chemical change

Oxygen

Oxygen for the fire may also be instantaneously consumed, if only for a moment, by more ‘sophisticated’ means such as using explosives to ‘snuff’ an oil well gas fire. Once the gas fire is out, it is not hot enough to start again, but workers must be extremely careful not to create sparks.

Without Oxygen

Fire isnt reaction without oxygen, oxygen must be present to sustain the fire, its like the host for the parsite

Oxidation

a chemical reaction resulting from exposure to oxygen or other electron-seizing atoms or molecular combination of atoms. On the cellular level, oxidative reactions are the source of energy, but free radicals and other oxidizing agents can damage cellular components, such as membranes, and interfere with cells' regulatory systems.
