Narrative:
At FL360 an ECAM vent blower and extract fan warning appeared. We followed ECAM procedure; referenced flight manual procedures and advised maintenance. We experienced no further problems during flight.after landing we got an ECAM avionics smoke message. We followed ECAM procedures and since we did not have any smoke we taxied to the gate; which was close by. After engine shutdown and checklist; the warning horn in the nose wheel sounded and the first officer smelled smoke; so he notified ground of a possible fire. All passengers deplaned through door 1L. When crash fire rescue equipment arrived all passengers were off. No fire was detected by the fire department; so the fire chief ended emergency.
