Maui County is advising visitors to leave West Maui because of limited resources due to the devastation caused by the wildfires, according to a news release.

The county is asking visitors with vehicles or other means of transportation to leave Lahaina and the island as soon as possible.

According to the county, a mass bus evacuation for visitors is being staged at the Sheraton Maui Resort in Kaanapali Wednesday and will take visitors directly to Kahului Airport.

Five Maui County buses that can hold 49 people each and five Polynesian Adventure Tours buses that can hold 50 were at the resort at about 4 p.m.

Personal vehicles can go to the airport through Kahakuloa. Rental vehicles may be left on site according to the release.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Transportation Security Administration reported that seats were available on flights departing Kahului Airport. They advise travelers to call airlines to make reservations.

The public is not being allowed to enter Lahaina during the active fire, but people already in Lahaina may exit via Kahakuloa. Maui police are stationed at Maalaea and Waihee to prevent entry. Only Kahakuloa residents may access Kahakuloa via Waihee.

West Maui remains without power and has no landline or cell phone service, according to Maui County.

Fire crews continue to battle the fires in Pulehu/Kihei and Upcountry areas, as well as the fire in Lahaina that burned multiple structures. There have been no changes in fire containment.
