I would say, while the wording of Pact seems to allow it, the mechanincs of the other abilities don't.
Aura (Ex): A pact wizard has an aura corresponding to the alignment of his chosen subtype as a cleric of his wizard level.
Fire isn't an alignment. There is no such thing as a fire alignment. Good and Evil are alignments.
Pact Summons works as the Sacred Summons feat:
Benefit: When using summon monster to summon creatures whose alignment subtype or subtypes exactly match your aura, you may cast the spell as a standard action instead of with a casting time of 1 round.
The Sacred Summons feat works on alignments.
While the text of Pact does seem to allow it, it seems clear that only the various alignments are suitable choices, not elemental subtypes.
