Fireman? 
The term is still used today:
http://www.virginiav.org/crew.html
Fireman: The Fireman works under the authority of the Chief Engineer's license, and so doesn't need a Coast Guard license (volunteer opportunity!). The Fireman's role is to assist in the operation of the ship's steam plant and other machinery. The Fireman is also the primary oiler, keeping all the moving parts of the ship lubricated on a regular schedule.
