Fire damage? Where did that come from? You said it was a "fine" arrow, not a "fire" arrow. Did you mean fire arrow.?

In any case, if you roll a 1 on d6 (which is what you said) you then take off 1 for the modifier and add 1 for the fine (or fire) arrow. That's a total of 1 which is stopped by the cloth, so the poison doesn't act.

If you meant that you derived 1 from 1d-1 (that means by rolling a 2 on the dice and modifying by -1), then the additional +1 from the special arrow gives a total of 2 damage which is enough to penetrate the cloth. Therefore the poison will take effect.

Which exactly did you mean?
