Two Venezuelan Oil Workers Die in Fire -PDVSA

Two workers died and one was injured in a fire at an electricity generation plant in Venezuela's western state of Zulia, state oil company PDVSA said on Tuesday.

The fire at the Lamargos-Lago complex next to Lake Maracaibo was completely extinguished after flaring on Monday night, PDVSA said in a statement. The workers were carrying out maintenance.

It was unclear what sparked the blaze.

"PDVSA created an investigation committee to investigate the causes of the accident," the statement said. "PDVSA laments this incident and expresses solidarity with relatives and colleagues of these workers."
