Is there a version of this that doesn't require a FB account?

It's mostly text, though there are some pictures at the end. Here you go: Bruce Dembecki August 12, 2019 San Jose Fire had an impossibly complex incident scene that will be the subject of countless Battalion Chief exams in the future... An SUV collided with a large bendy bus, pushing the bus off the road and into a high voltage power pole, which came down on top of the bus. Power lines are down across the bus and the SUV, and the streets. At the fire station next door there is a large bang and the power goes out... crews looking to find out what happened discovered they couldn’t open the apparatus bay doors... Switching to manual mode the doors at the fire station are opened, but they discover they can’t get their equipment out because the power lines are across the apron of the fire station. Manually open the back doors... the electric gate at the rear of the station is closed... plans for power loss at the station involve manually exiting through the front of the apparatus bay, time was lost as crews figured out how to open the back gate... Meanwhile the 11 people on the bus can’t leave the bus because of the power lines... but the SUV has burst into flames, and the fire is spreading to the bus... passengers can’t stay on the bus because of the fire... they can’t get off because of the electricity... Power remains a problem and fire crews are able to get a 1.5” line on the SUV from 30’ away... the SUV fuel tank starts dripping, the fuel ignites... the water stream from 30’ away pushes the burning fuel under the SUV... to the bus... The bus is a diesel electric hybrid with 900V batteries on the roof, smashed from above by the power pole, being attacked from below by fire... fire crews can not fight the bus fire until a bus mechanic arrives with information on how deal with the batteries... the bus mechanic arrives, but can’t go near the bus until PG&E neutralizes the power from their lines... Somehow, everyone was removed from the bus and there were no serious injuries. Hours later the major traffic artery remains completely closed as PGE deals with the power... when they are done fire will look at the bus and the hazmat team will analyze the damage to the bus electrical storage systems... eventually the bus and SUV will be removed and the scene turned over to PG&E to repair the power system before the road can be reopened... Elapsed time 4:03:00 and counting, we still can’t get at the battery systems on the bus... It’s going to be a long afternoon - did I mention it’s 98 degrees outside?

  Not quite clear why this was flagged to death, but I vouched for it as it seemed a reasonable response to the request.

    It’s a blatant copyright violation. And I don’t have an FB account and was able to read the article just fine.

      How deep up corporate America’s ass do you have to be to object to someone posting the text of a Facebook post? How will Facebook ever survive without you to defend it?

        It’s not Facebook I care about, it’s whoever wrote the post. I’m a photographer. When I find people pirating my work from social media sites I send them takedown notices. If not wanting people distributing my work makes me a corporate stooge, then so be it.

        There's a difference between art and a statement of facts. What we're talking about here is mostly a statement of facts, written with the objective of informing the public instead of profit (the fire department doesn't rely on online "exposure" to fund itself).

        What does the person who wrote the post lose by having a small subset of people ordinarily unable to view their original public post get to see the contents nonetheless?

Odd. I read it on my phone and didn’t need an account (don’t have one).

I put the PDF on Drive. Rather than incur the wrath of FB's lawyers, I will manually grant access to anyone who asks (until I get tired of it), and not make it generally available. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r7BQRrao8Za5DjLhN7WXJxHs6jwLL2_W/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r7BQRrao8Za5DjLhN7WXJxHs6jw...
