As I was approaching [the airport] I called in for a traffic report at 20 miles out; to report my aircraft and to talk to other possible traffic. One airplane landed and taxied clear of the active. No other traffic ever reported on frequency. As I was on short final a Cessna 182 taxied out and took off in front of us with no radio contact. After repeated attempts to reach him I was forced to land as a turn was not possible at that altitude. If I had gone around he would have climbed into me. I decided to land short; if I had rolled out long he may have decided to land again and it would have been on top of me. I applied reverse [thrust] and brakes; and subsequently the left main tire went flat and steered us off the left side of [the] runway. We impacted a runway light as we left the runway. The other aircraft flew the pattern and landed on [a different] runway and taxied to parking and left the airport. Possibly [with] more diligence [I] would have seen him on the runway and we could have gone around and not had the short landing. All crewmembers did not see him [until] he was right in front of us taking off.
PC-12 pilot reported a C182 took off just before his arrival without announcing intentions on CTAF. Reporter felt it was unsafe to go-around; so landed short and ran off the runway when he blew a tire.
