Can We Light a Match on the Moon?

[wavingerwin]

Just watched the movie Avatar.

Spoiler

People can't breathe there, but fire was produced. When the guys were firing a tree with explosives, the base of the tree was finally burnt

Can we light up a match (or produce fire) where there's low/effectively no oxygen in the atmosphere e.g. moon?

If not, can a spark still be produced?

Thanks!

Nobody said no oxygen
they just said toxic, I can't breathe in a mine flooded with firedamp but you bet your ***** it can burn
