I have, however, personally seen what happens when a canister of
compressed oxygen gets set on fire, and it's not pretty (though it is
pretty impressive).  The truck carrying the cylinders was completely
destroyed (the frame itself was melted, among other things, and the
cylinders themselves were launched quite some distance from the truck,
and a good sized section of the asphalt underneath the truck had to be
torn out and replaced (it's been a while, but I'd guess the area
replaced was a good 15'x20').  The truck was delivering oxygen for
medical use to the house of a friend of mine.



Sorry to burst your bubble, but a cylinder of oxygen is NOT flammable.

It can make other flammable things MUCH more flammable, however..
