We consider the Cauchy problem
$\left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{\partial }_{t}}u+H(x,Du) = 0&(x,t)\in \Gamma \times (0,T) \\ u(x,0) = {{u}_{0}}(x)&x\in \Gamma \\\end{array} \right.$
where
$\Gamma$
 is a network and
$H$
 is a positive homogeneous Hamiltonian which may change from edge to edge. In the first part of the paper, we prove that the Hopf-Lax type formula gives the (unique) viscosity solution of the problem. In the latter part of the paper we study a flame propagation model in a network and an optimal strategy to block a fire breaking up in some part of a pipeline; some numerical simulations are provided.
Keywords: Evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi equation, viscosity solution, network, Hopf-Lax formula, approximation.
