The Gävle Goat, built every year from wood and straw, is famous around the world. Mostly for not making it through the holiday season as burning the Goat down seems to be part of the Christmas tradition, even though it is illegal. As a Gävle-based company, we decided to put our own tiny straw-goat duo to the test: one treated with a fire-resistant coating enhanced with Quartzene, and one left completely untreated. 🔥🧯 The result? The Quartzene-coated goat stayed calm… while its untreated compan

🇸🇪🔥 Ever heard of Galavgott in Sweden? It’s a pre-summer festival of feasting, fun, and fiery folklore — literally. Locals load up on sweets, meats, and breads in a final indulgence before the seasonal fast… but the star of the show?
