Question

Answer

Although these are synonymous and can be interchanged, it would seem that debacle has more uses. As I found in the Oxford Dictionary;

Fiasco - 1. A sudden and violent collapse.

Debacle - 1. A sudden and violent collapse.
 2. A sound defeat.
 3. Flooding caused by a tumultuous breakup of ice in a river during the spring or summer.
