ST. LOUIS - From May 21 through May 27, it's EMS appreciation week. For St. Louis EMTs and paramedics, awareness, and support help as they deal with high crime and limited resources.  On Thursday, team members gathered to reflect on why the importance of that appreciation matters, especially right now.  Colleen Kinsella joined St. Louis EMT and paramedic department three years ago, she said it’s the drive behind what she can do that makes the dangerous situations worth it.  "I was on the highway, and there was a really bad accident. I remember there was no one else on scene," Kinsella said. "I just didn’t know what to do to help people." That feeling stretches across the team. Jared Eddingfield has been with the department for over 20 years and said the sounds of the sirens drive the work. Franklin County man added to FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list "I don't listen to the sirens when we're going to the hospital. I don’t pay attention to the bumps we h...
