“Fire on Wayne” consists of Elam capturing smoke and flames billowing out of a home. Through longer, observational shots (opposed to Elam’s oft disposition for brevity), Elam documents, through a grainy, blue-hued frame, not only the incident, but also an assortment of firefighters and on-lookers reacting to the fire.
