There are many oxidizers which can cause hazards.

Example:

On 26th July 2007 an explosion ocurred at the Scaled Compostes facility at Mojave Airport in California involving Nitrous Oxide[1] [2].

Fire/Explosion Hazards

Above 1200 F the NO could explosively decompose.

"Decomposition to N2 and O2 will occur at a lower temperature (approximately 650dF), if oxides of silver, copper and nickel are present. Some of these oxides may result from soldering or brazing operations"[3].
