Corrected entry: Willie kicks the "fire-bags" that light up the neighborhood and then talks to the kid. When he is done talking, he moves back to the bags and the remnants of the bag he kicked are no longer there. You can notice a big gap between the other bags.

Correction: Actually if you watch after he kicks and stomps on the luminaria, it's still burning. When they show the "gap" in the row of bags, the remains of the luminaria is on the ground, a burnt, blackened cinder is all that remains.
