BAYTOWN (July 7, 2009)--A prank caller duped the manager of a fast-food restaurant in Baytown into pulling a lever that triggered a fire-suppression system that left everything soaked in foam.
The caller told an Arby's general manager Sunday that he was from the Fire Department, and said the lever had to be pulled for a test to be performed.
Nothing happened the first time it was pulled, so the manager was instructed to pull the lever again, which caused the spray from the ceilings, The Baytown Sun reported.
The caller then told the manager to break the windows and evacuate the building.
Workers evacuated, but did not break the windows.
The restaurant was shut down for cleanup.
Police said several area businesses have received similar calls, and they are seeking the public's help in tracking down the prankster.

LOL! That's older than Prince Albert in a can. Shows you the "serious training" that the Arby's general manager went through. Hilarious. Anyone gullible enough to fall for this prank deserves a kick in their shorts!
You have GOT to be kidding me. If this was my establishment the "manager" would be out the door. The pull handles are plainly labeled "in case of fire pull handle". Well guess what no fire, don't pull the handle. This story is just hilarious!
