Narrative:
Normal approach to landing. After touchdown, aircraft began to veer to the left. Full right rudder was applied along with right brake, and finally full tiller to the right. The aircraft stopped its veer to the left but would not correct back to the right. As the aircraft came to a stop near the centerline, tower informed us that smoke and fire was noticed from the tires. Tower came right back to say they now only noticed smoke from the right side only. Evacuate/evacuation was ordered to exit the aircraft through the left side rear passenger door only. All passenger and crew evacuate/evacuationed with no reported injuries. Evacuate/evacuation was assisted by airport fire and rescue teams.
