Hello Chris,

They don't typically share IRQ's but it does happen a lot that they do. 
And then it's perfectly possible that they share an IRQ with other 
onboard devices:

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep firewire
  16:         79       1245   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb3, 
firewire_ohci, mmc0, jmb38x_ms:slot0, eth1, nvidia

Best,

Jeremy
