Narrative:

On landing roll out took the controls from the first officer (first officer) who been the flying pilot for the approach. Made the turn onto taxiway and we were approaching the ramp. I was looking outside to taxi but saw the red fire EICAS indication and said that we have a fire. As we were turning onto taxiway the cockpit filled up with smoke. Due to the smoke in the cockpit and a fire indication followed cfm procedures and evacuated the aircraft. We informed tower and asked for fire equipment to respond. We ran the emergency evacuation QRH procedure and deployed the slide on the left side of the aircraft. We evacuated down the slide and went to a spot in front of the aircraft while the fire fighters climbed aboard the aircraft. We were then taken to a hospital for medical evaluation due to smoke inhalation. Unknown source of smoke during taxi accompanied with fire warning.

Title: B757 flight crew reported evacuating the aircraft on the taxiway after receiving a fire indication on the EICAS and smoke of unknown origin in the cockpit.

Narrative: On landing roll out took the controls from the FO (First Officer) who been the flying pilot for the approach. Made the turn onto taxiway and we were approaching the ramp. I was looking outside to taxi but saw the red Fire EICAS indication and said that we have a fire. As we were turning onto taxiway the cockpit filled up with smoke. Due to the smoke in the cockpit and a FIRE indication followed CFM procedures and evacuated the aircraft. We informed Tower and asked for fire equipment to respond. We ran the Emergency Evacuation QRH procedure and deployed the slide on the left side of the aircraft. We evacuated down the slide and went to a spot in front of the aircraft while the fire fighters climbed aboard the aircraft. We were then taken to a hospital for medical evaluation due to smoke inhalation. Unknown source of smoke during taxi accompanied with fire warning.
