Hydrogen is an explosive gas- remember the Hindenberg! This is regular Hydrogen not the radioactive variety- the H-bomb so powerful it needs a regular nuclear bomb to act as a detonator, a double-flash indeed.

Hydrogen itself is highly flammable and burns easily in the presence of oxygen, producing heat and water vapor. Hydrogen can also act as a fuel that helps other materials or substances burn more easily when mixed with them.

Why is oxygen needed to make something burn?

If you want to be really specific, you can have a flame using other things. For example, a jet of hydrogen will burn in an atmosphere of chlorine. You get hydrogen chloride then. But if you burn the hydrogen in oxygen you get water. These examples demonstrate that burning is a chemical reaction and a great many things will combine with oxygen and in many cases small particles of white/red hot material are given off. This is a flame.
