Firekeepers

Firekeepers are individuals responsible for maintaining and ensuring the safety and proper functioning of a fire, often within significant cultural, spiritual, or ceremonial contexts. They may oversee activities related to fire rituals, preserve traditions surrounding fire use, and ensure the fire remains controlled and respectful of its symbolic or spiritual importance. In some cultures, firekeepers also serve as custodians of sacred knowledge related to fire's significance, facilitating its appropriate use in ceremonies or community gatherings. Their role is vital for both safety and the preservation of cultural practices linked to fire.
