hi K,
Sorry No, you cannot directly replace the Therm with a LM35
The thermistor is resistive device the LM35 is a 'voltage' generator, 10mV/C
E

EDIT:
I would not recommend a 'heat' sensor for a fire alarm circuit, most deaths in fires are due to smoke inhalation, long before any significant rise in temperature... IMO a Smoke detector is the way to go. :!:
