I haven't tried this, but this seems like it might work.

"When I needed Kindle Fire's android ID, I was able to use the Android Debug Bridge (http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html) and use the "adb devices" command to see the identifier. Luckily, on the Kindle Fire, the ID returned was the Android ID. Note that for some devices, this is not the case. The Android ID will be a 16-digit value, 0-9 & A-F"

Note what's in bold above. He only said it worked for the "Kindle Fire," so you can't be sure it'll return the device id for the Fire 6.
On a Windows PC:
You'd need the Android SDK (Software Development Kit), which needs the
Java Platform (JDK) if your PC doesn't already have it (you'll get a popup upon first opening the SDK if you need to install the JDK).
This page leads you through things.
Jumping ahead to preview your goal, scroll down that page to the screenshot of the cmd.exe black window, and you see the results of the "adb devices": a device id (presumably) with most of it blocked out in red.
A caution is that he calls it the "serial number" just below that cmd.exe black window.
Here's
another page from Amazon detailing the instructions, including using Mac OS X. It also refers to the "adb devices" return as a "serial number." You can check it against the serial number displayed in the Fire 6's Settings, and hopefully it'll be different.
