We deal here with the application of discrete-event System Specification (DEVS) formalism to implement a semi-physical fire spread model. Currently, models from physics finely representing forest fires are not efficient and still under development. If current softwares are devoted to the simulation of simple models of fire spread, nowadays there is no environment allowing us to model and simulate complex physical models of fire spread. Simulation models of such a type of models require being easily designed, modified and efficient in terms of execution time. DEVS formalism can be used to deal with these problems. This formalism enables the association of object-oriented hierarchical modelling with discrete-event techniques. Object-oriented hierarchical programming facilitates construction, maintenance and reusability of the simulation model. Discrete-events reduce the calculation domain to the active cells of the propagation domain (the heated ones).
