The "fire" part is the launch of the service on Amazon's Fire TV--in all countries but Mexico. It is already available on iOS, Android, Apple TV and Android TV in all 27 countries. It has said it expects to add Roku to that list.

Fox News International launched in August, streaming Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.
