out-dated reading

火か事じ
火事 is the general word for a fire incident, while 猛火 emphasizes the intensity and violence of the flames.
炎ほのお
炎 simply means 'flame' or 'blaze'; 猛火 specifically refers to a fierce, out-of-control fire.

Compound of 猛 (fierce, violent) and 火 (fire). The reading みょうか is an older, now obsolete pronunciation.
