Nothing worst than being ignored. Been a member for several years. They never return my calls or answer messages. I had a friend send them a message from his Facebook account inquiring about their Paerosol product. He sent the message the exact same way I do, through their messenger, and they answered his inquiry within a minute. They claim that the person who monitors their Facebook messenger only monitors and see's Paerosol questions. A bunch of bull crap, they think they are dealing with imbeciles. It seems they pick and choose who gets their attention and who doesn't. They take your membership money and ignore you. I joined to support the fire service here in Florida. I also joined their DRT (Disaster Response Team) to lend a helping hand when needed, I didn't join to be ignored or be treated like an adolescent. You don't get what you pay for. They treat you like a child by not allowing you to possess the DRT team uniform shirt that you already paid for until an actual disaster happens, then they hand them out as needed, just like elementary students get handed out crayons for the day. When questioned, here is the reply I got; "That is a shirt that is issued to you at the time of a disaster when you show up as a disaster team member. As I'm sure you can understand we cannot have hundreds of people walking around with disaster shirts on who are not actually at a disaster." Really? Is spraying your Paerosol in businesses and homes considered a disaster scene? None of that is mentioned on their DRT recruitment page on their website. I paid $55 for an entire package, not some now and some later. I did my combined duty as a firefighter for 34 years in N. Y. and here in Fl., I don't need their arrogant way of doing things. So after 7 years as a paid member of this organization I resigned. All they care about these days is their Paerosol business, not their paid members. They blame their behavior of not answering messages or voice mails on the Corona Virus, but actuality they have been incompetent the entire time I was a member. They have some serious issues which they refuse to acknowledge or correct. If you plan on joining them as a member, don't expect much. Your membership money to them is only treated as a donation and nothing more.
