戦せん禍か sense 2
戦禍 emphasizes the calamities and suffering caused by war, whereas 戦火 can also literally mean the fires of war itself.
兵へい火か sense 1
兵火 is a more literary, less common word for fires caused by military action, closely matching the literal sense of 戦火.

戦せん禍か
戦火 and 戦禍 are pronounced identically but 戦火 literally means the 'flames/fires of war' (i.e. fighting or combat itself), while 戦禍 means the damage and suffering that result from war.
戦せん地ち
戦火 means the destruction or 'flames' of war itself, not a place, so it should not be confused with 戦地, which denotes the actual war-zone location.

Compound of 戦 (war, battle) and 火 (fire). The literal meaning 'wartime fire' extended figuratively to the broader destruction and horrors of war.
