Please help. Thank you.

    export const setBlogDetails = (blog) => {
        return (dispatch) => {
            firestore.collection("blogDetails").add({
                ...{ blog },}).then(() => {
                    dispatch({
                        type: ADD_BLOG_DETAILS,
                        blog
                     });
                }).catch((err) => {
                  console.log(err);
            });

                dispatch({
                    type: ADD_BLOG,
                });
            }).catch((err) => {
                console.log(err);
            });
        }

You can combine two operations like this: (I assume you want to store an Id of blog details in the Blogs Table)

setBlogDetails = (blog) => { 
        return (dispatch) => { 
            firestore.collection("blogs")
                 .add({ ...{ blog },})
                 .then((docRef) => { 
                       // docRef reference to the newly created blog.
                       dispatch({ type: ADD_BLOG_DETAILS, blog });
                       return firestore.collection("blogsDetails").add({...blog, blogRef: docRef.id});
                   })
                 .then(() => {
                      dispatch({
                      type: ADD_BLOG,
                  });
                 .catch((err) => { console.log(err); }); }; 
        }
