You missed an auto-correct typo in your question.

From the Online Etymology Dictionary (https://www.etymonline.com/): "The sense of 'sack, dismiss from employment' is recorded by 1877 (with out; 1879 alone) in American English. This probably is a play on the two meanings of discharge (v.): 'to dismiss from a position,' and 'to fire a gun,' influenced by the earlier general sense 'throw (someone) out' of some place (1871). To fire out 'drive out by or as if by fire' (1520s) is in Shakespeare and Chapman."
