In Florissant, citizens are doing a double take on a double-check promotion sponsored by the Florissant Valley Fire Department, SSM women's Health Center at DePaul Hospital and Batteries Plus. October is the month of Fire Prevention and Breast Cancer Awareness. To promote Breast Cancer awareness, the members of the Florissant Valley Fire Department are donning pink t-shirts. At SSM women's health center at DePaul Hospital, clients are given free 9-volt batteries, donated by Batteries Plus, and reminded to check their smoke detectors as part of Fire Prevention Month.

The clients at SSM are asked to check and replace the batteries in their smoke detectors. The fire department is urging the women of the community to schedule a mammogram. This promotion was started by Scott Seppelt with the Florissant Valley Fire Department. His wife works for SSM's Women's Health Center.
