For that movie Mars was believed to have a similar atmosphere plus O2 content as Mt Everest or something of similar altitude. So starting a fire could happen, hard to do but could be done!

Alas, “Batman” didn’t land too well in that movie, iirc.

Electrical resistance heating driven by solar cells. No oxygen needed.
