Narrative:

On flight from ZZZ1 to ZZZ a circuit breaker popped in the forward galley and began to smell very bad. I was in the mid cabin doing a beverage service when this came to my knowledge by my flying partner. After I was told of this; ms X and I finished up the service and I went to the forward galley to speak with the purser and a pilot who was pass riding but in the galley helping with the situation. We spoke briefly and then I went to the back of the aircraft. I was informed by the purser a few mins later that we had a cabin advisory and to be prepared to evacuate/evacuation but to follow the captain's commands once we were on the ground. The captain then informed the customers that we had a small electrical fire and that we would be landing within 5 mins. We were instructed by the captain to yell brace when we landed and follow that with remain seated which we did. Upon landing I observed that the plane was being surrounded by emergency vehicles; however within a few mins of landing we were instructed to disarm our doors and passenger were instructed to deplane as usual. We then had a debriefing and deplaned ourselves.
