The weather hasn't been "chilly" this winter in West Michigan, but it is time to start thinking "chili" in Whitehall.

The city will host "Hot Chili for a Cool City III" on Saturday, February 25th.  The event at Pub One Eleven starts at 5pm and runs until 7:30pm or until the chili is gone.

Admission is $8 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.

Funds raised by the event will benefit downtown Whitehall beautification.  You can learn more at Whitelake.org.

GRANT TWP., Mich. (WZZM)- A cigar lighter may be to blame for a fire that killed an Oceana County man.  The man was able to call 911 to report the fire.  Before making the call he yelled to his wife to get out of the house.  She was able to escape unharmed.

The victim was upstairs filling a cigar lighter when the fire started shortly before noon Thursday.

Detective Shane Hasty with the Oceana County Sheriff's Department says, "She does not know how or what he was using, but that he went up stairs to fill a lighter that had run out of fluid and then he yelled down to her that the house was on fire."

The man and his wife are both in their 80's.  The Ludington Daly News reports he was identified as Daniel S. Grubb Sr.

It took four lakeshore fire departments two hours to put the fire out because the home was at the top of a steep and long driveway near park and 64th Street.
