Lieutenant-fireworker was an officer rank in the British Royal Artillery, ranking below second lieutenant.
After the first lieutenant and second lieutenant, the junior lieutenants of a company of artillery were designated "lieutenants and fireworkers", the conjunction soon being dropped.
[1] The rank was abolished in the Royal Artillery in 1771 and in the Royal Irish Artillery in 1774.
