If fire burns oxygen and paper as fuel, why does the oxygen even need to exist?
What makes oxygen "so important" that it can't be replaced with gasoline, paper, or any other alternative?
EX: If a match was lit in a very small room, the oxygen would quickly be used up. Adding gasoline vapors to the room to compensate for the lost oxygen would NOT keep the fire alive.
WHY!?!?!????
