The word today is Fendersmith
Fendersmith is a noun (I think) and means the following:
- A designated role in (affluent) families, responsible for domestic fires.
- A Fendersmith sustains domestic fires, fireplaces and accoutrements'.
A word identifying a role nearly defunct and slowly drifting into disuse.
Only royalty or extremely rich families now employ Fendersmiths.
To be a Fendersmith is a responsible role heading for extinction.

As a frivolous aside The Doors want you to light my fire.
