Default Dry glass is a combustible material?

Glass is a non combustible material.Reason being glass is made up of SiO2.Since it already has oxygen attached to it it has less tendency to combine with oxygen and hence less tendency to undergo combustion.But on the other hand dry glass is a combustible material.What is the composition of dry glass and what makes it a good combustible material?
