The most common fire worms have red tufts of what looks like hair coming out of the bristles. Yours does not look like they have that.
I know the image isn't great, but here's another image of it, if you can double check

Image is very, very difficult to see, but I only see brown bristles, so I would say its a bristle worm.

If it were to be a fireworm, I'd know right?
They looks more pronounced but no more harmful than bristleworm. Dont let the word "Fire" pursue you
