Amazonas had more than a hundred fires in just one day, amid the drought that has broken out in the region.
The record is from Tuesday (16), and the data is from the BDQueimadas Program, from the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe).
Since the beginning of July, Amazonas has recorded an average of 21 hot spots per day.
However, on Tuesday (16), the number reached 117.
Last year, on the same date, only one hot spot was recorded.
On Wednesday (17), there were 70 fires.
Inpe also pointed out that the municipality of Lábrea, in the southern region of Amazonas, which is called the arc of fire, is the second with the most fires in the entire country, in July.
As of Tuesday, there were more than 180 hot spots in the municipality alone, which has a strong livestock presence.
The city is second only to Corumbá, in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul.
As a result, fires in the state, in July this year alone, reached 443 outbreaks on Tuesday.
Last year, in the same period, there were 148. The increase was 199%.
The state is already in an environmental emergency due to hot spots. In total, 22 of the state's 62 municipalities are in this situation.
The scenario that lies ahead seems to repeat 2023, when the state recorded more than 20 thousand environmental fires, being the second worst year since 1998.
