Government officials in Brazil say they suspect “criminals” are behind a record number of fires which have devastated large swathes of São Paulo state.
The head of Brazil’s National Office for Protection and Civil Defence, Wolnei Wolff, said 99.9% of the blazes in the state had been caused by human action.
He said there had been no lightning strikes or downed high voltage cables which would account for the large amount of blazes. Four people have been arrested. End.
