"Fires emit dense and toxic smoke that harms the environment and human health, causing problems to the respiratory system and cardiovascular disorders," a government statement said.
"We are chartering planes to spray water in addition to fire department aircraft," Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas told the media.
"So far we have not detected any fire caused by lightning, which means there are people starting fires," Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on X, formerly Twitter.
The state government has placed 36 cities on "high alert" due to the fire.
