Yo pienso que se pueden usar igual las dos.......aunque en algunas instancias se escucha mejor una que la otra. Por ejemplo,
-Hay un incendio/fuego por esa calle, tenemos que tomar una desviación. En esta frase creo que se puede usar una o la otra. Pero........ Una fogata tiene fuego no tiene incendio. Maybe just what feels natural......some words are like that. If it feels good, do it!

okay because in our textbook the fire in there was incendio, and a month ago I asked what fire was in Spanish (for my novel) and I was given the answer fuego

Rule of thumb: if it's under control it's fuego, and if it's out of control it's incendio.

Of the top of my head, I thought it was "enfuego", but looking at it, I'm probably thinking "en fuego" (on fire). I'd never heard "incendio", which to me sounds more like a bomb (because of the English "Incendiary device") Guess you learn something new every day, eh?

When you use Incendio you can use fuego.
I mean, I can give you any examples. Hay fuego en el bosque. Hay un incendio en el bosque. As you can see, you can use them in the same phrase. If you need more examples, please you don't hesitate to ask us.

@pjt:
A "fuego" is the general word for every burning that produces light and heat. An "incendio" is specifically a fire that is burning something which was not intended for burning (a building, a forest, etc.).
