    @Kobe

    There is a narrow blue strip with “GO” in white letters at the top of the page just below the black bar (top)

    You have probably figured this out by now but if you enter your search term into that field and press the “GO” it will do a search.
    Not sure if it pulls up old news article, but it does do a search.

    [...] KING OF FIRE: 3 tons of water per minute at up to 120 metres — that’s what a Chinese turbo-jet water gun produces to fight those hard-to-reach fires in Luoyang City.

    I like to read this good post. The truck has a ladder in the air to help to fight the fire from above, to remove tenants or to take firefighters to the roof. Like snorkeling, you can also take water on the fire.
