IANAHR but "fired" is a special case of terminating an employees contract. It requires significant evidence of either malfeasance or poor performance despite significant attempts to help the employee improve. So, if you have that, you can obviously say it. So, in my understanding at least, fired is "at fault" and redundant is "no fault".
