                         state of Minas Gerais during the years of 1999 to 2009 for an 
                         exploratory data analysis. Through temporal analysis, we proceeded 
                         an analysis of the months and years where foci have been more 
                         frequent and of the critical period of occurrence of hotspots. The 
                         analysis considered the spatial frequency and the density of 
                         hotspots in the State Forestry Institute (IEF) nuclei. In the case 
                         of conservation units, it was also analyzed the annual recurrence. 
                         In total, 67,334 hotspots were detected in MG during the period 
                         from 1999 to 2009. Temporal analysis revealed that the year 2003 
                         had the highest frequency, totaling 10,929 hotspots; the year 
                         2009, in turn, had only 2,378 spots. October was the month with 
                         the largest frequency, with 24,149 of hotspots recorded. Nuclei 
                         with higher frequency, higher density and higher recurrence of 
                         hotspots in the case of conservation units, present the worst 
                         scenario, being considered as the most critical hotspots. However, 
                         low frequency of hotspots and high density are also indicatives of 
                         critical areas. In areas of high frequency of hotspots and low 
                         density, the size of the area directly influenced the high 
                         incidence of active hotspots. In these areas it is suggested an 
                         analysis of spatial distribution to check if hotspots are 
                         concentrated or sparse. The best scenario presented here is low 
                         frequency and low density of hotspots.",
