While I do like the idea of the street side ladder rack, I'll do you one better. Pierce's Ladder Gantry is a top mounted ladder rack that sends the ladder off the rear of the pumper. The down side is a full depth compartment is required under the ladder. Thats fine for a true rescue pumper, but it increases the hosebed height.

Surprisingly, I like that ladder gantry. Reminds me of the ladder placement on the London Fire Brigade apparatus.
