Dustin,
I must say that your question did not ring a bell with me at all so I did the obvious thing and hit up Google. My first search on 'Mountain Fire' led me immediately to Pieris japonica 'Mountain Fire'
Your picture leaves something to be desired but it looks pretty close. Google it and compare yours against the clearer pictures.
