Description: Someone who worked in a gas works tending the fire. See also: Furnaceman, Fireman. Fireman is the designation for someone whose job is to tend the fire for the running of a steam engine, typically a steam locomotive. In other places where steam engines are employed, such as steamships and saw mills, the designation stoker is usually used. Much of the job is hard physical labor, such as shoveling fuel, typically coal, into the engine's boiler.
