Connect all your smoke detectors to inputs on a ThinkBoxx
(http://www.smartworldcorp.com/products/thinkboxx/) which is then
connected to a PC that is always on to send an SMS message on alert.

Even better of course is to dispense with the PC and use ThinkBoxx's
telephone card to simply call you on your mobile - and if you don't answer
someone else's or a central monitoring company.

:)

Of course you'll end up wanting to connect far more......
