Satellites capture the surface temperature and, when they identify a strong heat spike, an algorithm registers the location as a fire spot.

The capital, Rio Branco and Santa Rosa do Purus in the Juruá Valley, had three incidents each, representing 7.3% of the total. However, the trend is towards an increase with the beginning of the dry period in the region. The lowest numbers were in Epitaciolândia, Mâncio Lima and Porto Walter, which accounted for two outbreaks each, equivalent to 4.9% of records. Acrelândia, Assis Brasil, Jordão and Sena Madureira closed the list with one fire outbreak each, corresponding to 2.4% of the state total. Capital Despite the low final result, data from Rio Branco's Civil Defense show that the number of fires in the capital of Acre was higher than those recorded in Inpe's balance sheet. To g1, the coordinator of Rio Branco's Civil Defense, lieutenant colonel Cláudio Falcão, informed that until this Friday, the capital had 80 fires, which corresponds to 7% of the state. Even so, the number is 45.5% lower than that recorded in the same period last year, when 147 outbreaks were catalogued, equivalent, according to Civil Defense, to 10.2% of the state total. Historically, the period with the most fires occurs from the second half of the year, during the Amazonian summer, when there is a reduction in rainfall and an increase in the cleaning of areas where fire is used. According to Falção, the contingency plan for the fire season is already underway. He explained that the actions involve preventive measures, firefighting and integrated action. "Each body already carries out its actions. The Civil Defense has the fire plan, the Department of the Environment and the Fire Department are already working to control the fire. The actions are being put into practice both individually by each agency and in an integrated manner", he stated. According to Ufac professor and specialist in burning, forest fires and air quality in the Amazon, Sonaira Silva, the influence of the El Ninõ phenomenon can increase burning and fires. "El Niños lead to very hot days, above 35 degrees, and also the effects of drought. "We have plenty of evidence that this year will not be a common El Niño, but they will be stronger than in other years", he says. ? Considering the entire Amazon biome, which covers Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Amapá and parts of Mato Grosso and Maranhão, 6,955 km² outbreaks were recorded until this Friday. VIDEOS: g1
