Narrative:

Just before the second service started, I delivered a drink to a passenger. When I returned to the back galley, flight attendants #2 and #11 told me that they heard chimes and we probably had fire on board. The whole time I stayed in the back galley until we landed, and was monitoring that area. I only smelled electrical fire before landing. It was coming from the right aisle. My eyes were tingling (as if slightly burning).

Title: A B777-200 FLT ATTENDANT CREW SMELLED ELECTRICAL SMOKE IN THE CABIN.

Narrative: JUST BEFORE THE SECOND SVC STARTED, I DELIVERED A DRINK TO A PAX. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE BACK GALLEY, FLT ATTENDANTS #2 AND #11 TOLD ME THAT THEY HEARD CHIMES AND WE PROBABLY HAD FIRE ON BOARD. THE WHOLE TIME I STAYED IN THE BACK GALLEY UNTIL WE LANDED, AND WAS MONITORING THAT AREA. I ONLY SMELLED ELECTRICAL FIRE BEFORE LNDG. IT WAS COMING FROM THE R AISLE. MY EYES WERE TINGLING (AS IF SLIGHTLY BURNING).
