Summary:An agent-based method of wildfire situation modeling suggested. Agent-based approach allows to describe the interaction of a large number of actors in the process of fire propagation and firefighting: directly wildfire, fire crews, machinery, air tools and others. In the work presented the contour of fire edge is approximate with a set of A-agents, each of them modeled an elementary burning fuel range. Moving these agents described with the Hamilton-Jacobi equations and realized with help the movable grid numerical algorithm. Agents of other type - B-agents describe the process of fire extinguishing. On the basis of this model worked out the software system, which may be useful for wildfire management and firefighting personnel training.
