No that was an error.. There is no signal for a helicopter landing in LB.. Its a Signal 8 for either 2343 or 2341/2344 or 2342/2344... Island Park uses a Signal 96 for a Helicopter Landing though... Dont know why...

It means use caution responding to the firehouse. Everyone uses it, very common to hear it today.

Oceanside signals:

61- Cardiac related
62- Respiratory related
63- Member/member's family

we'll usually just go on air saying "all units respond with caution due to road conditions"
