I agree with @ml59, Laravel doesn't support firebase as a default driver due to it not being an SQL. as per laravel documentation, it only supports the following 4 databases with the latest laravel 9 version.

1. MariaDB 10.2
2. MySQL 5.7
3. PostgreSQL 10.0
4. SQLite 3.8.8
5. SQL Server 2017

Your best option would be to use a library such as https://github.com/mpociot/laravel-firebase-sync, where you can connect Firebase with your application and use SyncsWithFirebase trait to sync with your model.
