This is unfortunately not possible in Firestore. The documentation specifies that the only possible structure is (for this case):

Collection -> Document -> Doc Info

You will have to have some document under the collection, however, you also have the option of using the 'Realtime Database', which is a little different, but will allow this.

If you insist on using Firestore then I recommend setting a global constant (some String to describe the document name), and using that to access the info in the doc.
