Engineering on tap: meet the company pioneering domestic fire extinguishers

The 2009 James Dyson Award International winner, Yusuf Muhammad, wanted to make a difference in a domestic emergency, for a university project. Fast forward nearly 12 years, and this idea has grown into an inventive fire safety company, Plumis, specialising in at-home water mist solutions.

“I can say, without a doubt, the Award changed my life,” says Muhammad. In a recent conversation with him, we uncovered more about the commercialisation of his invention, the Award win and his curious encounter with the International Water Mist Association.
