Do I have Fire Wire to add an External Hard Drive?

How can I tell if I have FireWire? I want to buy an external hard drive to back up my data. I found a relatively inexpensive one, but it indicates I have to have FireWire. I can't remember if I asked for that.
Is it standard?
I presume it's one of the "outlets" on the side where the USB is, yes?

Thank you

Thank you.
I've been having other problems and it has been strongly suggested that I back up my hard disk before I lose something valuable.
I am grateful for your help.
The link was perfect.
I thought it must be one of those. 🙂
I even looked on the Apple page to see what iBooks came with, but I didn't see it listed. Probably looking too fast.
