In this paper, three kinds of new model are proposed for compartment fire modeling. They are: Field-Zone model (FZ model in short), the main idea of which is to use field model for rooms of fire origin, with strong ventilation, or rooms of complicate geometry, etc. Field-Zone-Network model (FZN model in short), a further development of FZ model, in which the network is applied in rooms faraway from fire origin; Combined modeling of deterministic and probabilistic character (CDP model in short) ,which provides a framework showing the determinant, probability and their combination of fire roles. Three simple cases are chosen to demonstrate the applications of these models. The preliminary results are plausible and promising.
