The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), specifically, a compact fire-fighting UAV, comprising a fuselage, a plurality of rotor assemblies, a plurality of legs, image assemblies and fire-fighting assemblies, wherein the fuselage is a box structure, and is internally provided with a plurality of control modules; a battery module is arranged on the upper part of the fuselage; the rotor assemblies are arranged on the side walls of the fuselage, and the plurality of legs assemblies are respectively located on the lateral sides of the lower part of the fuselage; the rotor assembly includes a rotor arm, a drive motor, and a rotor; one end of the leg is connected with the bottom surface of the box structure, and the other end is used for supporting the ground, and thefire-fighting assemblies and the image assemblies are fixed on the legs; and the battery module is used for driving whether the fire-fighting assembly is working or not, and provides power for the driving motor of the rotor assembly, so as to realize the power supply of the UAV. The compact fire-fighting UAV adopts the fire-fighting projectile without recoil force to extinguish the fire, which can completely satisfy the general high-rise fire, and does not produce the backward impact force to the UAV, and is favorable for improving the accuracy of the fire-fighting of the UAV.
