Narrative:

Have flown with flight attendant employee wxvx before and have written him up for excessive PA's and PA's not required by his manual. Briefed him not to do it on this flight. He still made several PA's about altitudes and mins remaining to landing. It is very unprofessional and verges on safety in ZZZ. Due to passenger not knowing who is making PA's. At case arrival in ZZZ engineer was doing his overnight walkaround and saw smoke coming from the right wheel well area. He ran back to the cockpit and informed me and immediately called for the fire fighting equipment and commanded an evacuate/evacuation of the aircraft. There were only a few passenger -- 5 to 6 -- on the aircraft and they used the mobile stairs and I also instructed the flight attendants to use the same exit. They were already in the front of the cabin. They stated that the aircraft was clear of passenger and that they were the last ones on the aircraft. We shut down the APU and left the aircraft from the time that the flight engineer informed me to the time that we shut down the APU and left the aircraft was 15-20 seconds. Myself and the other copilot crew ran to the odor. The arff arrived within mins and I informed them of the situation and they inspected the wheel well. Maintenance and the arff's took control of the situation. I realized that the purser had already left for the crew van before I commanded the evacuate/evacuation. Arff said it was safe to re-enter the aircraft and retrieve our bags. Maintenance put ground power on the aircraft.
