At CITGO, safety is at the heart of everything we do. This Fire Prevention Week, we’re equipping our employees with fire extinguishers to ensure they are prepared both at work and at home.

"Our emergency responders and agency partners play an essential role in this preparation, and we thank them for their dedication to ensuring everyone's safety."
