because he was a whistle blower is what he believes. as major fires over the last year and a half destroy large buildings and left people dead, the man in charge of finding out the cause of them was acting captain of the arson task force john darmonin but he said he didn't have enough staff to keep on top of the investigation. >> our backlog of reports grew to over 450 reports in a year and that's outrageous. >> reporter: he complained he says first internally, then publicly that the department needed to hire more arson investigators. he made a passionate appeal for more staff at several public meetings. then two weeks ago he said the fire chief removed him from the arson task force. >> i was told not only am i being reassigned, but the chief decided to demote me. no doubt at all in my mind is that i criticized her lack of leadership. >> reporter: this is the the first time he's been through

this. in 1995 he publicly raised concerns about firefighting safety at the airport. he was rea in sod, filed a federal lawsuit -- rea signed, filed a federal lawsuit which he won and also won a monetary settlement. he was once described by a union official as a bitter malcontent. >> i am not and the record speaks for itself. i have never argued for my own gain. all my argument have been for safety, have been for training budgets, have been for staffing. >> he has spoken out publicly. was that part of the reason that he was reassigned? >> oh, no. absolutely not. that would be an unethical thing to do. >> reporter: the fire department spokesperson says the backlog is what led to the change in leadership in the arson task force. >> in that position that was filled over the last year and a half we have seen the number of open fire investigation reports grow fivefold.

>> reporter: not only does the task force have a new captain, but the fire department has brought along four new investigators and a lieutenant, exactly what darmonin had been pushing for all along. the department said no, it had nothing to do with him. they had put in those requests long ago. joe vazquez, kpix5 news. tonight the nfl is beginning a process that will lead to one city losing its football team and oakland is on that list. the league is holding a town hall meeting in st. louis right now. you are looking at some live pictures here. fans there are getting a chance to tell the nfl why the rams should stay put. raiders fans will get their chance on thursday. place. mark. mark live intro: t kpix5's mark thayer is outside the town theater where the raiders town hall meeting will be taking place. >> reporter: the big question is will anything that anyone says at this meeting make a difference in terms of what the nfl ultimately decides? money should directly finan

dennis o'donnell with tonight's sports, big night at oracle arena. >> reporter: look who i just found out here. look who is on the bandwagon. >> reporter: get out of here. is that a bandwagon? >> reporter: roberta gonzales, everybody. thanks for the cameo. that was great. okay. now i want to talk about championships to begin our show because everybody knows that the key to repeating is help. case in point, the san francisco giants because they weren't healthy, they didn't get into the playoffs. now the warriors tip off their season tonight minus their head coach. >> it has not been fun. it wasn't the summer that i was envisioning. >> reporter: while the rest of the warriors were celebrating steve kerr was recovering from two back surgeries. kerr is close to returning to

the bench, but for now luke walton will continue to fill in. you look at the last couple of years for you becoming an assistant, winning an nba championship and now albeit an interim basis while steve kerr is out you're the head coach of the golden state warriors. do you have to pinch yourself at times? >> obviously i know that i'm blessed that it happened this fast, but there's a lot of hard work that goes into it and obviously steve trusts me a lot to give me the promotion to start and then, you know, to trust me with his team. >> reporter: walton may lack coaching experience, but he does know a little bit about defending a title as a player. walton won two championships with the lakers. >> once you win that title the season is so long. there's a grind. you're in minnesota in january playing four and five nights and it's kind of natural or easier to be like we're the champions. we don't need this one. >> reporter: kerr won't be the only member of last year's coaching staff missing on the

bench. former assistant alvin gentry, the head coach of pelicans will be on the opposing sidelines but not before he receives his ring and rejoins his old team one last time. >> we accomplished something special and we're going to enjoy that moment that he got to get the boot. >> he's got two kids that are still warrior fans. i told him they're still with us. so if he can't find them after the game, just come to our locker room. he'll be in there with us in our postgame meeting. >> reporter: now luke walton will not have the services of david lee. he was traded to the celtics this summer after spending five seasons with golden state and lee will have to reluctantly settle for watching tonight's pregame ceremony. >> something i'd really like to go to to be honest with you guys kind of bothering me a little bit this morning, kind of like to go to that, but by the time i would have even if i chartered back, i'd get in at 3 a.m. and that's not fair to the

current team i'm with. >> reporter: some people think it's not fair that the warriors want to move to san francisco. a lot of loyal oakland fans here and one of the players that thinks it should not be a move to san francisco is charles barkley. who don't wa kland, including c >> we've been kind of like the nfl. we don't give a [ bleep ]. we just make money. we don't really worry about the fans anymore. the oakland community has been fantastic to the warriors, to me over 30 years now. obviously we've had some good teams there with chris going back that far, but they've always had a tremendous fan base of. >> reporter: while the warriors will continue their celebration tonight, the mood is not as good in santa clara this evening. the reports of tension in locker room are stacking up. the 49er, we know one of them is true, speaking on knbr this morning jim tomsula confirmed there was a heated team meeting following the 49ers loss to the

packers. >> i did have a heated meeting and that happens in this business. when you're 2-5, that starts to become headlines. the biggest thing i said to them guys. it's like an italian dining room table, okay? everybody sitting around the table and sometimes it gets heated. dishes get broke and people leave, okay? but everybody has got to come back to the table to eat, okay? and when it's all said and done, there's hugging and kissing and we're eating good food again. >> reporter: i know what tomsula is talking about. we often go and eat at sadini eats in between show. it's nice and calm until -- sadini's in between shows. it's nice and calm until they bring grappala out and then it's all out. whoo! i mean, whoo.
