Fire Water starts just east of Little Water Peak and descends into Little Water Gulch in Mill Creek Canyon. The top section is steep, fun, and frequently visited by helicopter skiers.
Follow the directions to Little Water Peak. Fire Water is the run that is northeast of the peak. The run is rather steep directly off of the summit; most people ski it further to skier's right (as shown by the tracks in the first photo, above).
