Officially they are no longer certified , hence they should be taken out of service.
Note that I said officially.
The bottles are probably fine and made by the same manufacturer as those for scott or MSA. -
I wouldn't use the bottles for scba ops... but save them to power air tools, inflate boats, tires, etc.
When they reach the end of their service life, scrap them."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters.
