Oxygen is not flammable. It is an oxidizer supporting combustion of something that IS flammable.

Why yes, it will initiate combustion (oxidization) of flammable organic materials such as fuel. It has been 45 plus years since I learned those reactions and dynamics in organic, and physical chemistry, so I guess I was slightly wrong. Sorry.
