                         pixels detected by the GOES-10, GOES-12, NOAA-12, NOAA-15, AQUA 
                         and TERRA satellites in municipalities (counties) in southwestern 
                         Amazonas State (Apu{\'{\i}}, Boca do Acre, Canutama, 
                         Humait{\'a}, L{\'a}brea, Manicor{\'e} and Novo Aripuan{\~a}) 
                         and in the {"}MAP{"} area (Madre de Dios-Acre-Pando) during the 
                         period from 2003 to 2008. During the study period between 50 and 
                         80% of the hot pixels detected by the satellites in the state of 
                         Amazonas occurred in the southwestern portion of the state, 
                         especially in the municipalities of Apu{\'{\i}}, Boca do Acre 
                         and L{\'a}brea. The highest number of hot pixels in the study 
                         area occurred in 2005, when a severe and prolonged drought 
                         provoked fire events contributing to the occurrence of forest 
                         fires and accidental fires in cleared areas and throughout 
                         southwestern Amazonia. In 2005 Acre was the burning champion, 
                         followed by southwestern Amazonas, Pando and Madre de Dios. In 
                         2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 the location with the highest 
                         number of hot pixels was the southwestern portion of Amazonas. 
                         This indicates that the use of fire in the area is intensifying 
                         and suggests that changes in land use and land cover are 
                         transforming the landscape with consequences for regional and 
                         global climate change. Understanding the evolution and the 
                         behavior of fire events in southwestern Amazonia is critical and 
                         requires the continual attention of the regional and national 
                         societies of the three countries that share the area.",
