a: an epidemic ~
b: forest fire

What:

"An epidemic is like a forest fire: if you react early enough, all you need is a single bucket of water; but if you waste time, every minute counts, and very soon you need to call in the fire department, and then firefighting aircraft. An epidemic is a similar situation: outbreaks spread exponentially and very fast, so early warnings are absolutely essential."
