If you want to modify the running firewall, you can use lokkit:
/usr/sbin/lokkit
lokkit is the gui tool that set up the initial firewall (which uses ipchains).

/sbin/service ipchains stop
will shut it down, however it will restart on reboot.

I believe it is shipped to start in run levels 2,3,4, and 5. 
You can check with:
/sbin/chkconfig --list ipchains
To prevent it starting on reboot, do:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 ipchains off
