the correct term would be het hypo, diffused, amel because there isn't a gene called 'fire' (its a combination)
het = heterozygous = genes come in pairs, if they are different then they are heterozygous
hypo = a morph = reduced black
diffused = a morph = reduces pattern on the lower laterals and removes belly chequers
amel = a morph = totally lacking black |

Het is short for heterozygous, which means the snake is carrying a recessive gene but not showing it. Nearly all the morphs for a corn are recessive.
To get an expressed hypo fire you would have to put two snakes with those hets together. |

Hypo is a morph, het is short for some long word that means the snake holds those genes in its makeup but does not show it in its appearance. :)
