The first Fire Zouaves was organized by Colonel Elmer Ellsworth, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln. He said "I want the New York Firemen, for there are no more effective men in the country, and none with whom I can do so much. They are sleeping on a volcano at Washington and I want men who can go into a fight now."
Within a few days, 2,300 men had answered Ellsworth's call to enlist.

Colonel Ellsworth was the first Union Officer killed in the Civil War. while occupying Alexandria Virginia the Zouaves went to take down a huge Confederate flag that was visible in Washington D.C.
