Looks like it did not download correctly for you:

wget -Ofirehol_3.1.6-1_all_18.06_all.ipk https://github.com/firehol/packages/releases/download/2018-08-19-1732/firehol_3.1.6-1_all_18.06_all.ipk
ls -l *.ipk
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        115320 Feb 26 21:33 firehol_3.1.6-1_all_18.06_all.ipk

There are some checksum files available too, if you want to validate properly.

curl didn't work for me as well, wget works.
