It is pronounced few-zee, with emphasis on the second syllable.

I run words the I don't know how to pronounce through this program. (http://vhost.oddcast.com/vhost_minisite/demos/tts/tts_example.html) To get the right pronunciation it's better if you know what language it came from. In this case,fusee sounds better in french.

LarFure,
Thank you! That site is priceless! I listened to the gal saying "fusee" in English and then in French. When I went back to English her pronounciation was different. Not perfected yet perhaps but very entertaining.

The pronunciation guide can be helpful with lots of words, but it's not perfect.
It fails utterly on the Latin expression meaning disguised, unrevealed, or undercover. That is correctly said "inCOGnito".
