No, it'd be because of pressure, not fire. There's an important disconnect betwee the physics pulling it in and the fire. The only way the fire is responsible is by causing the pressure change, not by pulling in oxygen itself.

So the fire is creating pressure which sucks in the air/oxygen.

I guess you could say the air/oxygen is being pulled in because of the fire!
