Abstract: The following invention relates to a fold out fire escape ladder. The ladder comprises at least two parallelly arranged strings (1, 2), which are interconnected by means of a plurality of pivotally arranged parallel rungs (3). The holes for the pivoting points (38) of each rung are arranged in off-centered positions, which positioning increases the strength of the ladder in a surprising manner. Furthermore the inner string (1) comprises mounting means (12), intended to co-operate with brackets (4), which substantially facilitate the attachment of a ladder.
