Narrative:

Landed las. Upon taxi in, cabin and cockpit began to fill with dark smoke. Set parking brakes, called ground control, requested crash fire rescue equipment and told them we were evacing. All slides deployed and all passenger and crew off. No injuries. Supplemental information from acn 552449: upon taxi in to the gate in las, I noticed smoke coming through the air conditioning vents. After reporting in to the cockpit via air phone, I went to call the girls in the back. Upon that I noticed I could not see beyond a ft in front of me. The entire F/C was full of smoke. I got on the phone and heard the #2 flight attendant talking to the first officer over the phone, realizing that they in fact were in the same predicament. It was then that the smoke was so thick that my vision was compromised and breathing was becoming labored. At that time, I felt that an evacuate/evacuation was necessary. I notified the cockpit crew that we were evacing and then initiated an evacuate/evacuation over the PA to the girls in the back. We evacuate/evacuationed with only minor scrapes. From the first indication of smoke to the time everyone including crew was evacuate/evacuationed was probably less than 1 min. Apparent problem was a broken hydraulic line that dumped fluid on the engine, which in return filled the cabin with smoke. I had an awesome crew that were professional as well as efficient. I do not know what could be done to change it.
