bonfire -- forest fire
A bonfire not extinguished may result in a forest fire - something along the lines

: "Forest fire" might imply being necessarily in the vicinity of a forest, but not in the yard, for instance.

Sure thing. I just gave an example showing the distinction of the two "fires". However, bonfires are most often put made in the wilderness

unextinguished fire/conflagration
You are right, the word fire covers both meanings. To make the distinction, I suggest you use "conflagration" the second time.
An unextinguished fire can be the cause of a conflagration.

smoldering (bon/camp)fire
can lead to/grow into a conflagration.
Conflagration is used mainly for large-scale fires.

: "Conflagration" brings the connotation of a disaster making headlines, like "California Conflagration of September 17, 1923". I haven't seen it used in the context of safety regulations/procedures, etc.

First: check the references; second: isn't пожар a disaster? It surely is, large-scale or not.

: По-моему "failure to put out" - отличный вариант, звучит очень естественно... а также думаю, стоит уточнить, что это campfire/bonfire. Not sure about "ignition/inflammation"... how about "a blaze"? Not easy though!
