The smoke detectors have three terminals, black, white and red.
Use 14/3 wire on a 15 amp circuit. Do not switch this wire. Connect all the black wires to the black terminals, white wires to white terminals, and reds to red terminals. This will insure that if any detector goes into alarm, all of them will sound.
