PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Some workers at an ambulance service in Scioto county are back on the job.

Company leaders at Portsmouth Ambulance Incorporated tell WSAZ.com they are back in operation and 30 people have returned to work.

That number will go up as their operation gets back to normal.

Company leaders say a business agreement expired without enough notice for them to make the changes necessary to keep the business up and running.

The interruption affected 100 workers.

Kenny Boggs is the Vice President of the company. He told WSAZ.com that "We''re still working diligently to satisfy some of that financial hardship that they incurred, and hopefully we can have a positive outcome for them next week."

The Associated Press reports 40 Portsmouth ambulances have been hired by MTS Ambulance in Ashland.
