The club was founded in an unknown year and most of its history remains unknown either. In early summer of 1939 Ognisko won the regional league of the Polesie Voivodeship, but it lost qualifiers to the Polish Football League, Pinsk's side was beat both by Śmigły Wilno and WKS Grodno. The club ceased to exist after the Soviet invasion of Poland (1939) at the start of World War II, and was not reestablished after the war, as the city of Pińsk was annexed by the Soviet Union into the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.
