I was the Pilot-in-Command and the pilot-flying. Upon a normal landing; the tower controller reported smoke coming from our aircraft's left main landing gear. An airport support vehicle confirmed the left main landing gear brake was on fire. We then coordinated and performed a ground evacuation of the aircraft in accordance with policies and procedures.
Increased maintenance attention to brake pads and hydraulic lines.
EMB-145 flight crew reported having a brake fire after landing. The Captain commanded a successful evacuation.
