Oxygen is necessary for burning, so it is highly flammable
If we have materials for burning, then adding oxygen feeds the flame. It is, therefore, dangerous to keep oxygen near any kind of fire.
Does this mean oxygen itself is flammable or burns?
To find out, you can take a jar containing oxygen gas. Now if you ignite it, you will not find anything happening - the match stick will burn out after sometime but will not see a fire.
