I need some help understanding the difference between 戦争 and 戦火 in this
exchange to understand what is meant by 領地にも **戦火** が及びかねない危機に陥る.

To provide some additional context, カノ controls her own territory レフトハンド, and
she was currently in someone else's trying to stop a war from starting, but
she ended up nearly getting herself killed.

Difference between 戦争 and 戦火 in this exchange
戦争 is just "war", which is an intangible concept. 戦火 describes something more
visible; it refers to individual battles where firearms are used, or
fire/destruction caused by them. 戦火 is more or less a "dramatic" word (usually
negatively). It is often used in the context where such fire/destruction is
treated like a disaster (e.g., あの神社は戦火で失われた, 田畑は戦火で荒らされてしまった).
