There can be a release of energy without oxygen, but it will not result in a fire, just an explosion. You can make arguments for things like the sun "burning" in the vacuum of space, but that is fusion, and a far different thing than lighting a match.

Fair and as for the sun I've always seen it as more of just a constant nuclear explosion.
