As the bushfires continue to burn in Australia, new penalties are to be introduced to try to stop children starting fires deliberately.
Of the 24 people who've been arrested in connection with the fires, 15 are under the age of 16.
Meet patients with burns
Under the new rules, children found guilty of arson (starting fires) will meet hospital patients with serious burns to see the full horror of what bush fires can do.
They will also be forced to help victims pay for the damage.
Change their ways
State premier Bob Carr hopes it will be a traumatic experience that will persuade children to change their ways.
He said: "Our goal is to take these young people by the scruff of the neck and rub their noses in the ashes that their behaviour has generated."
So far, the fires have killed thousands of animals and caused millions of pounds of damage.
Some of the children are thought to have started the fires deliberately because they were bored in their summer holidays.
