Narrative:
After completing the parking checklist the aft flight attendant noticed a smell of smoke coming from the aft portion of the cabin. After checking it out the captain asked me to contact ground control to get the fire trucks rolling to the aircraft. He also asked me to contact operations to get maintenance out to the aircraft. After accomplishing those two things I stayed at the front of the aircraft and kept the cleaning crew and catering from entering the aircraft. After the fire department declared all clear we handed the aircraft over to maintenance.
