This works if you just need a public file with a simple URL. Note that this may overrule your Firebase storage rules.

bucket.upload(file, function(err, file) {
    if (!err) {
      //Make the file public
      file.acl.add({
      entity: 'allUsers',
      role: gcs.acl.READER_ROLE
      }, function(err, aclObject) {
          if (!err) {
              var URL = "https://storage.googleapis.com/[your bucket name]/" + file.id;
              console.log(URL);
          } else {
              console.log("Failed to set permissions: " + err);
          }
      });  
    } else {
        console.log("Upload failed: " + err);
    }
});
