It doesn't look like Fire Blight. Fire Blight's characteristic is the appearance of having been burned (blackened).

Good Morning,

I certainly agree with Jim is that does not look like fire. Absolutely does not. Certainly I'm not an expert on Apple diseases but this looks to me like sun scald and then fungus set in but not the fire blight bacteria. As Jim said, fire blight spores leave a black mark that is washed by the rain from the top down.
