What is the semantic difference between these two? i.e. the dict says they both mean exactly the same, namely fire, they're both masculine nouns, etc. I am just a beginner Spanish learner, sorry 
thnx

An incendio is a large fire/blaze that destroys things, like a forest fire, wild fire, house fire, etc.
Fuego is just the generic term for fire.
