Dismisses (5)

I think it could be either:

sacks

fires

'dismisses' is the definition.
('fire' can be a synonym of 'dismiss')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fires that I've seen before include "Cashiers" , "Sacks; conflagrations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Newsday.com and The Telegraph.
