Swedish municipalities choose the FirePipe™ Emergency Stove

Stockholm, September 23, 2026

Interest in practical emergency preparedness solutions is growing. At the time of writing, 11 Swedish municipalities have chosen the FirePipe™ Emergency Stove to strengthen their capabilities during crises and civil emergencies.

Sweden’s municipalities play a crucial role in civil defense and emergency preparedness. When electricity, heating, or other parts of the critical infrastructure fail, practical solutions are needed that can be put into operation quickly.

It is against this backdrop that the FirePipe™ Emergency Stove was developed.

It is a Swedish-developed emergency stove designed for heating, cooking, and water boiling when the main energy supply is unavailable. The construction is engineered for easy transportation and storage in a flat-pack format, and it can be assembled without tools when needed.

From innovation to municipal preparedness

The fact that 11 Swedish municipalities have now chosen the FirePipe™ Emergency Stove marks an important milestone for Cut & Fold. It demonstrates how the need for concrete, usable preparedness solutions has become an increasingly clear priority in municipal planning.

The FirePipe™ Emergency Stove was developed based on Cut & Fold's core principle: creating smart, functional products from flat sheet metal. By combining clever design, conscious material selection, and efficient manufacturing, we develop products that require minimal space during transport and storage, yet can be rapidly assembled when required.

For emergency preparedness equipment, this is particularly essential. The gear may need to be stored for extended periods and only brought out when an extraordinary situation arises.

Preparedness must work in practice

Sweden’s total defense is not built solely through plans and policy documents. It also requires equipment and resources that perform reliably when standard societal systems suffer disruptions.

The ability to generate heat, cook food, and boil water becomes a fundamental necessity in such scenarios.

The fact that an increasing number of municipalities are actively addressing these challenges is a very positive development. At Cut & Fold, we are proud that the FirePipe™ Emergency Stove can play a part in supporting this vital effort.

Preparedness is not just about having plans – it is about having the right resources on site when they are truly needed.
