DAFW --
I checked the U.S. Treasury, American Banking Association and Google
Glossary for FIRE. If you're not familiar with Google's Glossary
(it's still in the Labs), it's located here:
http://labs.google.com/glossary
Better search results are probably available using the following
Google search strategy because unfortunately the common word 'fire'
complicates other searches:
"acronym FIRE"
In it's financial sense it often means Finance/Insurance/Real Estate
-- the three service sectors of the economy. Job statistics from the
Census Bureau are grouped this way:
Barnstable Patriot
"REB is Part of the Job Revolution" (Lynch, March 12, 1998)
http://www.barnstablepatriot.com/03-12-98-news/reb.html
You'll find about 45 definitions of the acronym with the search above, including:
Diverse Networks
Fault detection, Isolation, Resolution, Escalation

Marketing Insight
Find, Involve, Reward, Empower

A fellow researcher, Pinkfreud-GA, points out that FRS Global, a
subsidiary of S1 Corporation (NASDAQ: SONE), offers a regulatory
reporting service for financial institutions called FiRE:
FRS Global
FRS Regulatory Reporting (2003)
http://www.frsglobal.com/FiRE.html
This well may be the product that is being referred to, as it allows
the financial institutions to communicate with central banks in some
20 countries.
