I don't remember what was the flammable substance that caused there to be an active fire. Oxygen by itself doesn't burn but supplies the oxygenating agent to a flammable substance. I'm guessing the wires that caused the spark were not flammable and I would hope that the insulation itself wasn't. There must have been something proximate to the spark to ignite.
