We made a normal approach and landing at ZZZ. During the landing rollout; we heard a transmission on CTAF from an unknown source 'Beechjet; your landing gear is on fire.' We were near an exit taxiway; and the Captain turned off the runway onto the ramp area. He instructed me to exit the aircraft with the cockpit fire extinguisher; which I did and easily extinguished the fire as the airport fire truck arrived. The Captain soon joined me with the cabin fire extinguisher.
Normal approach and landing. During landing roll out at ZZZ; a general radio broadcast from unidentified source was heard on CTAF frequency 'Beechjet; your landing gear is on fire.' Being near an exit taxiway; I turned off the runway and onto the ramp area; instructed the co-pilot to exit the aircraft with the cockpit fire extinguisher as I performed an emergency shutdown of the aircraft. I then proceeded to exit the aircraft with the cabin fire extinguisher to meet the co-pilot whom had already easily extinguished the fire as the airport fire truck arrived. After the event; I was able to perform an inspection of the runway with airport personnel and discovered a noticeable hydraulic fluid trail beginning at a point approximately 2;500 feet - 3;000 feet into our landing roll and continuing to our position on the ramp. I suspect that a hydraulic rupture in the brake assembly was the cause of the fire as the brake/wheel and wing were covered in hydraulic fluid.
BE400 flight crew reported being advised of a landing gear fire during landing rollout.
