Narrative:
On taxi in to gate, approximately 100 ft from gate, mem, lead flight attendant advised me that aft positioned flight attendant had just observed 1) smell of smoke, 2) blue room fire alarm sounding, 3) floor was hot to her feet. I had first officer request fire equipment and company maintenance meet the aircraft. We parked at gate jetway and had passenger deplane quickly and without luggage through passenger boarding door.
