White Fang's innocence is revealed in the excerpt through his interaction with the setting. The description of his curiosity and fascination with the strange flame, which is likened to the light that attracted him as a puppy, shows his naive and instinctual response to something new and unknown. His innocence is highlighted by his lack of understanding of what fire is and his instinctual pull towards it.
Suddenly he saw a strange thing like mist beginning to arise from the sticks and moss beneath Grey Beaver's hands. Then, amongst the sticks themselves, appeared a live thing, twisting and turning, of a colour like the colour of the sun in the sky. White Fang knew nothing about fire.
