Narrative:

We were landing on runway 19 [which is] shorter and narrower than average. We had reported the airport in sight about 15 miles out on an IFR flight plan and received the visual. Runway 19 is the calm wind runway and also the runway with the least amount of slope. The winds were calm and the time of day was sunset. At about 8 miles out we canceled IFR and switched over to advisory frequency. The PNF made radio calls on CTAF. I was flying and concentrating rather intently on vref and the proper angle to be flown for a short field landing. I touched down about 1;000 feet down the runway and almost immediately spotted a small airplane moving at a high rate of speed from my right to my left on runway 8. The closure rate was very fast and I applied pressure on the right rudder to veer as safely as possible to my right and miss the small aircraft. We missed each other by about 75 feet right at the intersecting point of the two runways. Left rudder was briskly applied to correct the airplane back to the center of the runway. More radio calls were made after we observed the airplane continue his takeoff run and return for a landing. No answers were received. The sun was setting on our right side and obscured the view of the approach end of runway 8.corrective action: our industry has progressed far too much in the last 25 years to not require a radio for all aircraft that use the terminal area of a specific size of airport. This particular airport has multiple approaches and is located within 5 miles of a class D airport.

Title: Air ambulance flight crew landing at RLD reported a near collision with another aircraft taking off on an intersecting runway. The other aircraft reportedly was not communicating on CTAF frequency.
