@69288zero4 Before "blazes" doesn't make any sense.
"...the worst that blazes the country has seen..." <-- This makes no sense.
Do you mean after the word "blazes"? Because that is an advanced grammar point. When there is "best" or "most ____" or an "~est" word in a sentence (scariest, hardest, craziest, etc.), you can leave "that" out of the sentence for conciseness. The sentence's meaning remains the same.
Example:
He's the best dog that I've ever had.
He's the best dog I've ever had. <-- Both are correct, but this is more concise.
Formal English uses as few words as possible. We don't want to take up too much of someone else's time. Also, news articles have limits on how many words there can be in one article. So, if there's an opportunity to exclude a word, writers will exclude that word.

Severe thunderstorms are pelting some regions of Australia suffering from historic wildfires with powerful rain, bringing much-needed relief to firefighters battling the worst blazes（ the country has seen in decades. ）
- Inglês (EUA)
So in the article, "...the country has seen in decades..." Means that Australia has not seen a wildfire at that magnitude in quite some time. Decades could mean twenty, thirty, forty, even more depending long it has been since they last had a fire this strong.

A decade is a specific measurement of time. It means 10 years. They are saying the wildfires are worse than any other wildfires that Australia has had in over 10 years.

@69288zero4 do you mean sentence with the word decade?
Today is my 10 year high school reunion. I can't believe it's been a decade since I graduated from high school.
