Somehow I think being charged with murder is not going to suddenly make them give a damn about the damage they caused.

It will, however, mean they are in prison for a long time and therefore unable to set more fires.

It'll also mean they get treatment. Setting fires is a known sign of psychological disturbance.

(And before you scoff at the idea that they will get treatment in prison, my sister-in-law is a prison psychologist here in NZ, where the prison system is similar to Australia's. People DO get treatment here, and some of them go on to make good lives.)
