the first fret of the guitar (and other fretted instruments) is the fret closest to the nut, which is where the strings cross over from the head of the instrument to the fretboard. The nut can be thought of as the zeroth (0th) fret, and the first fret is the fret that follows immediately after that. Most guitars have somewhere between 20 - 24 frets, so the last (i.e. 20th or 24th) fret is the one closest to the sound hole (if it is an acoustic instrument) or pickup (if it is electric).
The note F natural can be played many places on the guitar, some examples are first fret, sixth string, third fret, fourth string, first fret, first string.
