2008 FIRE

In 2008 an accidental fire destroyed the C.A.I. offices and Liberty English School as well as a family dwelling. The fire originated from a gas stove and quickly engulfed the building. Only one minor injury. Many prized documents, photographs, books and collections were damaged, most lost. Many documents were hanging on the wall and important documents and papers in a fire resistant metal filing cabinet and were protected from the fire but not from the massive amounts of water applied by the fire department. Now the new location has a fireproof and water tight box.
After the fire, C.A.I. operations were suspended one month, until another location was found. All martial arts classes were done off location at various venues as they still are to this day.
