Anytime you connect a fire device to a burglar alarm it becomes a
"fire alarm" and all applicable codes must be followed.   Including
but not limited to appropriate fire cabling to the keypads and sirens,
proper detector coverage and spacing, and....  yes..  devices that are
listed for FACP initiation.   In this case the BRK smokes are not
listed for that purpose.
