“Burns oxygen, eh?”

Oxygen oxidizes which is what burning is... It is just as correct to say that the oxygen burns as it is to say that the fuel burns...

Nope.

Basic inorganic chemistry.

Fuels oxidize (rapidly) to create heat and sometimes visible flame to make fire ... By combining the fuel with an oxygen atom.

Oxygen NEVER “burns” in a chemical reaction.
