I got fired after working nearly 6 years for a company. Should I include it on my resume? If yes, am I supposed to mention that I got fired from there? Or can I just put the starting and ending date? Do I need to include there phone number or can I leave it out? I don’t want my employer to bad mouth me lol.

just put on the name of the company and the dates of employment. You don’t need to put on the reason for leaving, and you NEVER say you were fired on a resume.
Have a trusted friend call and get a reference from teh comapny before going on an interview.

You only put the dates, and you don’t mention being fired unless they ask during our interview. You do not need to include their phone numbers unless you are using the employers as references (Which I don’t think you are doing). You never have to put them as references, unless you want to. As long as you have other references (At least two, and one being a previous employer) you will be fine.
A lot of that depends on the reason that you were fired.
If it were me, I would definitely include the information on my resume. Don’t offer the information that you were fired. They may not ask. If they do ask, be prepared with a professional answer to the question. I could help you more if you added the detail about why you were let go.
