Fireworks is primarily for editing vector images (while Photoshop has historically excelled at bitmap images) but with more of a web focus than Adobe Illustrator. I personally have found it to be a good rapid prototyping tool, and general purpose image editor for web design. For web development purposes, it supported many of the most essential features from both Photoshop and Illustrator.
In days past, Fireworks had better integration with Dreamweaver, Flash, and other Macromedia projects. Now that Adobe has purchased Macromedia, the imbalance will largely be evened out in CS3. Differences in target audience will likely remain, though are perhaps less defined in CS3: Fireworks for general purpose web image editing and prototyping, Illustrator for high-end vector work, and Photoshop for photos and other bitmapped images.

You do know that Adobe bought out Macromedia, right?
Fireworks is a graphics package optimized for the web. Resizing, slicing, layout, squeezing (file size), web-safe palette, and all that, even handles animated GIFs and such.
You can "think" of it as PhotoShop for the web, in a certain sense.
