The study aimed to analyze the spatialization of hot spots in the state of Amazonas. It also analyzed the incidence of hot spots in view of the Brazilian federal government over a 21-year period. For the empirical research, the quantitative method was used, aided by geotechnology tools. Through dialectical materialism, questions were raised for further research. The results showed that 2005 and 2015 were the years when most of the hot spots were reported. The main affected cities were Lábrea, Apuí and Boca do Acre. Regarding the federal government, during Lula’s first presidency the largest number of hot spots occurred, the smallest rate was registered during the second FHC government. In recent years since the Temer government, there has been an increase in detection, and an upward trend can be observed in the current Bolsonaro government. The conclusion reveals that the hot spots are concentrated in the Sul and Centro Amazonense mesoregions, and in the Madeira and Purus microregions.
