No. Service conductors supplying a fire pump controller have to be installed per 695.6(A)(1). No allowances for 2 hour rated cables.

(A) Supply Conductors.
(1) Services and On-Site Power Production Facilities. Service
conductors and conductors supplied by on-site power production
facilities shall be physically routed outside a building(s)
and shall be installed as service-entrance conductors in accordance
with 230.6, 230.9, and Parts III and IV of Article 230.
Where supply conductors cannot be physically routed outside
of buildings, the conductors shall be permitted to be routed
through the building(s) where installed in accordance with
230.6(1) or (2).
