Probably yes.
It depends upon your local rules and the insurance company, but generally they know that an alarm, by itself, does not protect the house from fire. Fire insurance rates are primarily driven by an evaluation of the local fire DEPARTMENT, including how far away they are, whether they're volunteers or full-time, whether there are fire hydrants, and so forth.
