oxygen is needed to burn along with heat and fuel. Simple really!

Exxon, Mobil or Shell will do nicely.
One guess mmm Oxygen
Hmmm. Under ordinary circumstances, of course oxygen is the gas needed to burn things. However, other oxidising gases will support burning. For example, a jet of hydrogen will quite happily burn in jar of chlorine (the chlorine is doing the oxidising, the hydrogen is being reduced) to form hydrogen chloride.

So, the correct answer is that there is no single gas 'needed'. What is needed is an oxidising agent. Most frequently, this will be oxygen.

burning = OXIDISATION = (for example)rusting(a very slow burn that one!)
Oxidisation = chemical combination with the gas OXYGEN.
So you see you knew the answer all along as the answer here as in many other cases is in the question it's self!

Try a little lateral thinking.
