Sure there is.

At the presents, there's very little Firebird documentation
available. As you might know, Firebird started when InterBase
got open sourced. Much InterBase related documentation is
still applicable to Firebird.

You might want to take a look here:

www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix& page=ibp_download_documentation

And get yourself a great GUI tool here:
