    Someone posted the 911 dispatch on facebook, the dispatcher said an employee was locked in an oven.

    It was the dispatcher not the 911 caller, so it’s quite neutral in tone and detail. Page details calling for Technical Rescue: “Female is (has?) locked in an oven in bakery. Oven is on. Unsure if staff are unable to turn it off.” Page details. That’s it.

    It was a dispatch to fire. It just states the incident confirming that it was an entrapment and staff unable to open with the oven being on. It also says the address of the store. It was at 9:21pm.

    I worked at Walmart before, there is usually no cameras in the back for bakery or deli. I’ve never worked in a bakery that had cameras facing the ovens, I worked in several different bakeries. Only one pointing to show who goes in and out unfortunately. The oven doors are heavy, there’s no way she accidentally shut herself in the oven and I highly doubt she walked in an oven while it was turned on…… and for those saying she was maybe new or that maybe she wasn’t trained properly, Walmart training videos are a requirement before you start working and also, who would walk into a oven while it’s on? I can’t help but feel like there is either something nefarious going on or the oven being involved in her death isn’t accurate. I will say this though, the ovens in the current bakery do NOT have an emergency button or anything, if you go into a oven while it’s on and somehow shut it all the way behind you then there is no way out. I say somehow because again, you have to put some strength behind moving the door and I cannot think of any reason why someone would go inside and shut the door because the oven has no drain so when you clean it the door has to stay open for you to squeegee the water out.
