Exactly why it sounds like "fire" is part of its etymological history. The correct pronunciation of fiery does have a long E, but for the letter Y (fire-ee).
It is often mispronounced as (fear-ee) but this would be a caret I "ear" sound, not a second long E. There is a valid variant pronunciation with three syllables (fy-uh-ree) that also has a long E, but again for the Y.
