                         triggered fundamental questions about the possible causes behind 
                         it. Here we performed an in-depth investigation of the drivers of 
                         active fire anomalies in the Brazilian Amazon biome. We assessed a 
                         20032019 time-series of active fires, deforestation, and water 
                         deficit and evaluated potential drivers of active fire occurrence 
                         in 2019, at the biome-scale, state level, and local level. Our 
                         results revealed abnormally high monthly fire counts in 2019 for 
                         the states of Acre, Amazonas, and Roraima. These states also 
                         differed from others by exhibiting in this year extreme levels of 
                         deforestation. Areas in 2019 with active fire occurrence 
                         significantly greater than the average across the biome had, on 
                         average, three times more active fires in the three previous 
                         years, six times more deforestation in 2019, and five times more 
                         deforestation in the five previous years. Approximately one-third 
                         of yearly active fires from 2003 to 2019 occurred up to 1 km from 
                         deforested areas in the same year, and one-third of deforested 
                         areas in a given year were located up to 500 m from deforested 
                         areas in the previous year. These findings provide critical 
                         information to support strategic decisions for fire prevention 
                         policies and fire combat actions.",
