Same here.

The package that you are trying to add does not support schematics. You can try using a different version of the package or contact the package author to add ng-add support.

@0.0.0 is very suspicious indeed.

Also tried with Node LTS (14.17.0); same issue.

We haven't marked Angular 12 as a compatible peer yet, make sure to specify a version/tag. ng add @angular/fire@latest should do it.
