Default Is zoroastrianism mentioned in the Quran?

When salmon is mentioned praying to fire, are they referring to Zoroastrianism?
star: "Salman became devoted to the Magian religion, so much so that he attained the position of custodian of the fire, which they worshiped. His duty was to see that the flames of the fire remained burning and that it did not go out for a single hour, day or night."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_the_Persian

I was wondering if the Magian part is mentioned in the Quran, or more precisely Zoroastrianism.

Can you give the verse please? Cos it'll take me forever and a day to look through the Quran to find what you're referring to.

edit: As Zoroastrianism originated from Iran, and he was Persian, I'd say it's likely. Zoro's believe that they shouldn't let the fire go out.
I found this, I hope it helps

Hastag is correct. I haven't read the Quran much either, but in my job as a mullah I only have to pretend to know.

What a life!
