fire ants hurt when they bite. on my feet I get a tiny blister which heals quicker if I pop it. these are not killer ants that swarm all over you and leave you a skeleton. In the yard they first make a small mound that you can put amdro on to kill them before it gets huge. my dog got a bite once on a walk and yipped. I know cuz I got one too.
I wouldn't say it's rare, but it's not a big deal either and you can keep them mostly off your own turf.
