Nope, the formula of potassium hydroxide is K-O-H oxygen can combine with exactly two elements normally. K (potassium) can combine with one the same for hydrogen. There is no more reacting with oxygen left to do, so it will not burn in air.

It is corrosive though, it will eat metals, and flesh, and it will also release hydrogen gas when combined with aluminum and water. Hydrogen gas is flammable.
