either way, fire is one of the weaker type, its not strong defensively and its only passable offensively, and they have a weakness to stealth rock
and im talking about gen4, not really aware of gen5 metagame, but afaik, there arent many fire pokes in OU
in fact, there are 4 fire OU pokemon in gen5
Heatran (there because of its second type and good bulk, giving him a bunch of resistance)
Infernape (one of the best wallbreaker and has access to nasty plot, sword dance and bulk up and base 108 speed)
Ninetales (drought, nuff said)
Volcarona (quiver dance and special bulk)
none of them really benefit from being fire type tho
and this is why fire sucks!
