Narrative:
After landing on 17L at den we taxied off the runway and headed sbound on the parallel taxiway (taxiway Z). I was performing my after landing procedures when I received a call from the aft flight attendant stating that there was smoke in cabin. I told the captain of the smoke and started to question her about the type and intensity of the smoke when she told me they were going to start evacing the aircraft. I informed the captain and first officer that they were starting to evacuate/evacuation the aircraft. At that point they stopped the aircraft and we performed our evacuate/evacuation procedures in the cockpit and then proceeded to the aft of the aircraft to help the evacuate/evacuation of the passenger. I was the first crew member out of the cockpit and noticed smoke being thicker in the rear than the front and a whitish gray color. When I entered the cabin the doors had already been opened and the smoke had started to dissipate. All passenger and crew members were evacuate/evacuationed. There were no injuries to the passenger or crew members and no damage to the aircraft.
