For the main pattern begin with the 3 strums which end the pattern also - you could play
those U D U but he usually plays all downstrokes as can be seen from live footage.

The story behind the song

"Fire" is a song with sexual overtones that actually had a rather innocent beginning. Jimi Hendrix wrote it after asking his bass player's mother if he could warm himself by her fireplace on a cold New Year's Eve. The song itself is a dynamic blend of soul, psychedelic rock, and jazz-inspired drumming, often feeling like a duet between Hendrix's guitar and the drums. As one of his most popular songs, it was a frequent highlight of his live performances. Playing "Fire" allows you to channel that raw, electrifying energy that defined Hendrix's sound.
