B757-200 CREW RETURNED TO THEIR DEP ARPT WITH AN ELECTRICAL COCKPIT FIRE.

Narrative

ABOUT 30 MINS AFTER TKOF; WHILE PERFORMING A BEVERAGE SVC IN THE AFT PORTION OF COACH; THE #2 FLT ATTENDANT AND MYSELF (#4) SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING; A VERY STRONG ODOR. I TOLD HIM TO CALL THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT TO SEE IF SHE WAS BURNING SOMETHING IN THE OVEN. HE PICKED UP THE PHONE IN THE AFT GALLEY AND THE CAPT WAS ALREADY ON THE INTERPHONE TELLING THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT TO 'HANG-ON; WE'RE ON FIRE UP HERE.' WE IMMEDIATELY STOWED OUR CART IN THE BACK AND WAITED FOR INSTRUCTIONS. THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN THE PAX'S MINDS THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT; AS THE FUMES WERE GETTING MORE INTENSE. THE CAPT FINALLY GOT ON THE PA; TOLD THE PAX WHAT WAS GOING ON AND TO PLEASE PAY ATTN TO YOUR FLT ATTENDANTS. THE FLT ATTENDANTS THEN WENT THROUGH OUR PLANNED EMER CHKLIST. WE COMPLETED THROUGH OUR BRIEFING OF THE PAX AND SPECIFICALLY THE ASSISTANTS AT PARTICULAR EXITS. WE LANDED IN ZZZ AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE TRUCKS TO LOOK US OVER FOR EXTERNAL FIRE. THE ACFT LOOKED OK; SO THEY ESCORTED US TO THE GATE AND WE DEPLANED ALL THE PAX. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE L SIDE OF THE COCKPIT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES; JUST A LOT OF 'SHOOK-UP' PEOPLE (INCLUDING CREW MEMBERS).
