What happened to DC-7B N832D?

What happened to ex-Eastern AL DC-7B N832D, SN 45332. It was last, and still is, registered to Bruce Kinney of Richey MT in 1981.
I guess it was used as a crop sprayer or fire bomber.
thanks

According to a propliner list I've got the a/c is noted as "destroyed by fire" at Glendive, MT in 1982. I can't find any NTSB accident report but have seen a note elsewhere that it burned up on the ground, with no injuries.

Note however that the former Kinney a/c is N823D, not N832D which had c/n 45341 and was broken up at Lancaster, CA in the early 70s.
