 Well, dunno that oxygen really burns since it's an oxidizer.  A room 
with nothing but O2 in it shouldn't burn if you add a lit match, other 
than the match itself.  Then the interesting thing of H2 is that the 
resultant volume after "burning" it is less than the H2 adn O2 that 
you start with.  It implodes.  :-)
