Based solely on this language, the non-compete would apply even if you are fired. However, restrictive covenants such as this are looked at with some suspicion by Courts, and are often held to be unenforceable. The fact that you were fired, rather than quit, may be one factor that a court would look at in determining whether this covenant can be enforced against you.
