FDNY Department Order No. 109-Purple K

[BK7236]

I was reading the dept orders this morning, maybe I am not comprehending it properly, but it seems that E-228 is no longer a purple K unit. Anyone have any info on this? Did they move 228's second piece somewhere else or just disband it? Guess I am just wondering what is going to happen to the 228 second piece.

Taken OOS not sure if it’ll be replaced

Theirs & 229s are older than old and are due for replacement

I am not sure of the reason on the DO info however as far as replacement I would think the age of the actual Rig & the age of the actual Purple K setup are two different issues .....either could be swapped independently I would think.
