H2O is parallel to CO2.  CO2 isn't the flammable one.  The parallel to CO (the flammable C) is H2, or hydrogen, which does in fact make a good fuel source if you can find a good way to compress its volume.

the closest parallel would of course be OH, which is usually an ion, but can exist as a radical. Radicals have the tendency to react violently with things they come upon though. HOOH or hydrogen peroxide has the tendency to break up into two OH-radicals, which is why it's so reactive.


Also, CO binds strongly to hemoglobin. So strong that it won't go off again. Same with cyanide. This makes it so that you'll be unable to transport both oxygen and CO₂, leading to both suffocation and acidification of parts of your body...

Yeah, that fire is apparently impossible to put out as well.

Now that's central heating!
