Narrative:
As we taxied onto arrival FBO ramp; observed smoke and flames coming from front right center glare shield vent. We advised ground control we had a fire and asked them to roll fire equipment. I set parking brake. The non-flying pilot shut down avionics master switches and then assisted passengers with evacuation of aircraft. I shut down all other systems and left the aircraft. Firefighters checked the aircraft for active fire and found all fire extinguished. We unloaded all passenger luggage and they departed the airport.
