Amazonas registered 656 fires in November, a reduction of 74.3% compared to the previous month, which had 2,557 fires, considered the second worst October in the last 26 years.
The data is from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
In November 2023, 797 fires were registered.
This is a slowdown in the phenomenon that has plagued the state in recent months; this year is already considered the worst in the number of hotspots since 1998, when INPE began the historical series.
Amazonas is still in a state of environmental emergency due to the fires.
The problem began in July and reached its peak in August and September, when a wave of smoke reached all 62 cities in the Amazon.
At the time, a fire patch measuring approximately 500 m in size also covered the state.
The air quality was considered poor or very poor.
To combat the fires, the Government of Amazonas launched Operation Aceiro 2024 with the aim of combating fires during the dry season of the rivers.
The action involved the dispatch of 60 military personnel from the Amazonas Military Fire Department (CBMAM).
In August, the force was reinforced with the dispatch of another 200 military personnel.
