巴西政府表示，人为行为是导致亚马逊州新一轮火灾蔓延的原因，此前国家空间研究所在短短48小时内记录到540个新火点。
Brazil's government said deliberate human action is behind a fresh wave of fires sweeping Amazonas state, after the National Institute for Space Research recorded 540 new fire hotspots in just 48 hours.
官员称，这一数字 alone 超过了去年10月全月检测到的火点总数的一半，凸显火灾加剧的速度。火灾蔓延已迫使36个市镇宣布进入紧急状态。
Officials said that figure alone is more than half the total hotspots detected across the whole of October last year, underscoring how quickly the fires have intensified. The surge has forced 36 municipalities to declare a state of emergency.
消防队伍和州级机构正在加紧行动，旨在旱季到达其高峰之前控制住火势。环境官员警告称，持续的森林砍伐压力正使该地区年复一年地更容易受到火灾威胁。
Firefighting crews and state agencies are now racing to contain the blazes before the dry season peaks. Environmental officials warned that continued deforestation pressure is making the region more vulnerable to fires each year.
