There are so many ways you can do that... but the easiest is just to create a new layer over top of your fire effect and fill it with black.
Now create a new layer on top of the black layer, and apply the text where you want it. (You may want to hide the black layer to get your text positioned just right)
Now, unhide your black layer if you hid it previously, and make sure it is the active layer. Now hold CTRL and click the layer thumbnail for the text layer. This will create a marquee (a selection) in the shape of the text, but on the black layer. Delete the contents of the selection (CTRL 'X') and hide the text layer... you should now have the effect you were looking for.
You will have to copy this new black layer to all frames of your animated image (I assume it's a gif).
Hope this helps.
Mike.
