TLC, the ValueJet fire was caused first by the heat of the oxygen generators, which generate oxygen from a chemical reaction--not from stored oxygen. The heat of that reaction ignited materials, such as the cardboard box they containers were in. Then the O2 fed the fire and ignited an airplane tire on which the box was apparently sitting.

O2 certainly accelarated the fire, but O2 did not start the fire.
