How to delete the borders and add the name in the bar itself

I would like to delete the lines which are actually shown in the picture and also put the number (their values) in each graph, I mean the value which belong to each one. How can I do it? The values are from a data set taken from Kaggle.

enter image description here

Here is some code to help you get the requested layout. The states and the numbers are from Wikipedia.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

states = ['Acre', 'Alagoas', 'Amazonas', 'Amapá', 'Bahia', 'Ceará', 'Federal District',
          'Espírito Santo', 'Goiás', 'Maranhão', 'Minas Gerais', 'Mato Grosso do Sul',
          'Mato Grosso', 'Pará', 'Paraíba', 'Pernambuco', 'Piauí', 'Paraná', 'Rio de Janeiro',
          'Rio Grande do Norte', 'Rondônia', 'Roraima', 'Rio Grande do Sul', 'Santa Catarina',
          'Sergipe', 'São Paulo', 'Tocantins']
fires = [2918, 73, 7625, 24, 2383, 327, 68, 229, 1786, 5596, 2919, 451, 15476, 10747, 81, 132,
         2818, 181, 396, 68, 6441, 4608, 2029, 1107, 62, 1616, 6436]
fires, states = zip(*sorted(zip(fires, states))) #sort both arrays on number of fires
fires = fires[-15:]   # limit to the 15 highest numbers
states = states[-15:]

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 6))
ax.barh(states, fires, color="#08519c")
plt.box(False)  # remove the complete box around the plot
plt.xticks([])  # remove all the ticks on the x-axis
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('none') # removes the tick marks on the y-axis but leaves the text
for i, v in enumerate(fires):
    ax.text(v + 180, i, f'{v:,}'.replace(',', '.'), color='#08519c', fontweight='normal', ha='left', va='center')
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.22)  # more space to read the names
plt.title('Wildfires Brazil 2019', fontsize=20, y=0.98) # title larger and a bit lower
plt.show()

example plot

PS: about 

for i, v in enumerate(fires):
    ax.text(v + 180, i, f'{v:,}'.replace(',', '.'), color='#08519c', fontweight='normal', ha='left', va='center')

This has a v going through each element of fires, one by one. i is the index for which fires[i] == b. ax.text(x, y, 'some text') puts a text on a certain position, where they are measured with the same distances as those marked on the axes (that's why default the axes are shown). When the axes are just text instead of numbers, they are numbered internally 0, 1, 2, 3, ... . So, x=v + 180 is the x-position where number-of-fires v+180 would be. And y=i means just the position of label number i.
