Dr. Berwick draws a parallel between the broken healthcare system and a forest fire that ignited in Mann Gulch, Montana in 1949” (Escape Fire Screening Guide, 2012, p. 6). “Just as the healthcare system lies perilously on the brink of combustion, the forest fire, which seemed harmless at first, was waiting to explode.

Their foreman, Wag Dodge, recognized that they would not make it. With the fire barely two hundred yards behind him, he did a strange and marvelous thing. He invented a solution. His crew must have thought he had gone crazy as he took some matches out of his pocket, bent down, and set fire to the grass directly in front of him. The fire spread quickly uphill, and he stepped into the middle of the newly burnt area, calling for his crew to join him” (Escape Fire Screening Guide, 2012, p. 6).
