MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A Hazmat call to a Manchester Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant was determined to have been sparked by a hoax call, police said.Firefighters were called to the restaurant on Hooksett Road because employees reported eye and skin irritation from a fire extinguisher. When emergency crews arrived, they found three employees disrobed outside of the building.The employees told police that the restaurant got a call from someone claiming to be from corporate headquarters who asked them to test their fire suppression system. When they did and reported that they had chemicals from the extinguisher on their clothes, the caller told them they needed to take their clothes off.
The workers said they became suspicious when the caller then told them to urinate on each other.Two officers were sent to a hospital for treatment from being exposed to chemicals inside the building, and two employees were also treated at a hospital. The third employee refused treatment.Police said they are investigating the incident as a criminal matter. The restaurant was closed until health officials could determine that it was safe to re-open.

Wooooow...

Another reason why I stay away from fast food.

Yeah, how stupid do the people working at fast food places have to be to fall for that?

[Cidp24]

About as stupid as the restaurant managers that fall for the phone call from "the police department" advising them to strip search an embezzling employee.

Haha. This is why you should go to college... not only so you don't end up working in a fast food joint for the rest of your life, but so you don't fall for that crap. And whoever called that in needs to spend his/her time doing something else... its kinda sad. Actually to be honest I don't know which is sadder: spending your time doing that or falling for it...

Urine actually DOES neutralize certain poison gasses.

The Britts had a gas mask in WWI or WWII called the "Smelly Duck". You were supposed to pee on it, then wrap it around your face. The front of it looked like a huge duck bill.

(not saying how good it worked)

I have heard that, but if I was one of the employees I would have thought it was a bit extreme for the circumstances. Just the fact that the "fake PD" called to inform the workers that and then continue to tell them what to do, just would have seemed odd to me. Then again, some people will do almost anything in the face of danger to protect themselves.
